Career Connections Dinners

Twice a semester, the Office of Alumni Relations, along with Career Services, holds Career Connections Dinners. These relaxed gettogethers provide an opportunity for current students to meet with alumni working in the health care fields they are about to enter.
These popular events are a hit among students and alumni alike, and we would love to invite you to our next dinner! Visit www.
PAcollege.edu/alumni or email John Enderle, Director of Alumni Relations, at jenderle2@PAcollege.edu for more information.

Novus Partnership

This fall, the College embarked on a new
strategic and educational partnership
with Novus Surgical, a leading Arthrex
distributor of surgical materials. Since
opening the new campus, Novus has worked
directly with the College's simulation staff
to offer training and education on campus
in our Center for Excellence in Practice.
Sharing in our commitment to excellence
through education, Novus also established a
scholarship fund. Through this partnership,
students and employees of the College have
access to the latest and best surgical supplies
and artificial joints, often learning about
new technologies alongside the area's leading
surgeons.
Do you know an organization that would
be a great fit to partner with PA College?
Erika Wilkinson, our Executive Director
of Innovation and Strategic Partnerships,
would love to hear from you! She can be
reached at elwilkinson@PAcollege.edu.
