"I'm approaching the completion of an undergraduate degree, and that's rewarding—especially for a person who left college to join the army. I often daydream about the impact my accomplishments with Penn State will have on my family, and I'm looking forward to joining the school's alumni." —Franklin Barrett, bachelor of arts in letters, arts, and sciences
