Flashback Friday! ✨
On June 2nd, PACT Community Advisory Board Members gave an insightful panel discussion on how researchers and institutions build meaningful connections with the community. Their experiences working with PACT were cited throughout the conversation.

Introduced by Penn State Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Clarence Lang, and PACT Director, Dawn Witherspoon, the panel included Gloria Merrick, Brenda Alton, Rick Sayles, and Amy Wible. Robin Perry-Smith gracefully moderated the discussion.
