For Penn State DuBois alumna and small business owner Kristy Hanes, a rewarding career is all about the details. That is, the number of cars she details at her business, Kristy's Krystal Klean Kars, in the community of Kersey, in Elk County. An Elk County native, she launched the business while still a student, and after graduating with her bachelor's degree in business management and marketing from Penn State DuBois this spring, dove into her work full-time.

For the Penn State DuBois General Engineering Program, what happens in Vegas doesn't just stay there; it's heard around the world. Six students from the program attended the international conference on powder metallurgy, POWDERMET 2017, this summer in Las Vegas, Nevada, and presented research. Their participation in the conference was made possible by a student grant from the National Science Foundation, a grant the students qualified for due to the merit of the research they're conducting within their degree program.
