Members of the Penn State DuBois Veterans Club are seeking support for the creation and installation of a memorial on campus to honor all students, past, present and future, who serve or have served in the armed forces. The granite, keystone-shaped stone will feature the seals of all five branches of the U.S. military, as well as an inscription memorializing student veterans of the campus.
As the Penn State DuBois dancers continue to rest up after their 46 hour effort at THON, the totals are being calculated. So far, DuBois has $24,234 in contributions to THON 2018's university-wide total of $10,151,663.
THON Dancer Julie Test, left, and nine year old Kendall Lashinsky both committed to donating the hair they had cut at the THON Hair Auction to organizations that make real-hair wigs for those dealing with illness related hair loss.
A total of $7,013 was raised for THON on Thursday evening at the Penn State DuBois THON Dancer Sendoff Dinner. A silent auction, and the main event, a hair auction, brought in these funds that top off the campus total to date of $22,567 raised towards THON's university wide effort for this year.

Thanks to a gift from a generous donor, Penn State DuBois engineering students and faculty have another way to distinguish themselves as members of an outstanding program. A new scanning electronic microscope, now housed in the engineering labs, is available, meeting a variety of needs, and bringing some research capabilities in line with labs at University Park.
