The Berks County Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association, the Penn State Berks Benefiting THON student organization, and the Reading Royals are teaming up to hold a fundraising event to benefit THON.

Penn State Berks is celebrating its history while preparing students for the future through National Engineers Week events and activities, to be held Feb. 17 to 21.

Penn State Berks students in the college’s FiERCE program (Futures in Engineering: Role-models Can Empower) will host Reading High School 10th graders for an interactive engineering workshop from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31.

In honor of Black History Month, Penn State Berks will hold the following events in February 2020. All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.

One year after opening its doors within the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in downtown Reading, Pennsylvania, the Berks LaunchBox has already seen how innovation can spark economic development and generate momentum in the Greater Reading community.
