1 President’s Message 5 Chef makes America’s Top 10 9 College for high-schoolers 13 New era dawns for athletics
President’s Message
A SEPTEMBER 2016 CEREMONY
on our campus prompted me to reflect upon my
pathway to leadership of this vibrant institution,
my professional home for the past four decades.
The event eliciting such nostalgia for me was the
dedication of a thoroughly renovated Penn College Dental
Hygiene Clinic. Beautiful, functional and technology-driven,
the circa-2017 version of that lab is state-of-the-art in every
respect. I can tell you, firsthand, that the accommodations
were far more modest in 1977, but I was thrilled nevertheless
to begin working here as a dental hygiene instructor and
curriculum developer, the first stop on a journey that I would
trade for no other.
As I told guests at the dedication, this is the third iteration
of the Dental Hygiene Clinic, and it is well worth the wait.
It features ergonomic controls, bright LED lights, updated
safety features, computer integration, digital radiographs
and intraoral cameras – in short, everything befitting an
institution that prides itself on being a national leader

to the community include cleanings, exams, sealants and X-rays.

in applied technology education. And it has additional
workstations, so we can enroll more students to satisfy
workforce needs.
In October 2016, the Penn College Board of Directors
approved another School of Health Sciences program,
physician assistant studies, as the institution’s first master’s
degree offering. We began offering courses leading to this
milestone graduate degree in Fall 2017; conferring of physician
assistant master’s degrees will commence in 2022.
Nationwide, we continue to see a shortage of health
care professionals, including physician assistants, who can
efficiently extend physician care. Addressing skills shortages
in a variety of career fields is a Penn College hallmark, and for
the students who succeed in the rigorous PA program, some
of the highest starting salaries beckon. »
“At Penn College,
we pride ourselves on
teaching. Sometimes,
our students teach us.”
Physician assistant student James T. Connolly practices his suturing
skills. The August graduate passed the Physician Assistant National
Certifying Exam and accepted a position with Geisinger Orthopedics.
The program is set to award its first master’s degrees in 2022.
2016-17 2
Further demonstrating our knack for nimbly responding
to workforce demands, we approved several new majors in
2016-17 that began enrolling students in Fall 2017: brewing
and fermentation science, metal fabrication, and applied
innovation. As you might imagine, brewing and fermentation
science has attracted the lion’s share of attention in the
news media. This new Associate of Applied Science degree
combines the science, technology and management skills
required to meet the growing consumer demand for unique
craft beers.
The associate degree in metal fabrication will prepare
graduates with an array of skills including welding, machining
and sheet metal fabrication, paving the way for employment
in a variety of industries or entrepreneurial pursuits. And
the bachelor’s degree in applied innovation, by combining
innovation courses with technical electives, will prepare
graduates to create systems or products that help advance
society. (A bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurial innovation
will follow in Fall 2018, combining entrepreneurship,
innovation and design courses.)
For 35 years, helping students achieve their goals has
been the charge of the Penn College Foundation, which
celebrated that anniversary in October 2016. Established in
1981, the foundation awarded its first scholarships – totaling
$2,902 – two years later. The foundation has since surpassed

commemorated 25 years of the Visiting Chef Series,
culminating with a sumptuous dinner in Le Jeune Chef
Restaurant featuring a slate of culinary stars, including
renowned Louisiana Chef John Folse in a record-breaking
seventh visit. Since its inception, Visiting Chef has allowed
our students to learn side-by-side with more than 50 expert
chefs (some of them alumni) from across the country and
as far away as Italy. Proceeds from the dinner help fund
scholarships in the baking and pastry arts, culinary arts, and
hospitality management majors.
Meanwhile, a Penn College faculty member’s mastery of
pastry arts earned him a spot this year among the “Top 10
Pastry Chefs in America,” as chosen by Dessert Professional
Magazine. You will find the profile on Chef Charles
Niedermyer on Page 5 in this Annual Report.

for more on that exciting evolution.
As current high school students represent our imminent
future, I encourage you to explore the success we have
achieved with the Penn College NOW dual-enrollment
program, which is profiled beginning on Page 9 and
celebrated in a video on the college’s YouTube channel. In
nearly 50 schools across Pennsylvania, high school students
can earn free college credits via Penn College NOW, with
partner schools providing a wide range of our courses to
students in their home school or career and technology center.
It is a marvelous way for students to jump-start their college
experience and save on tuition costs.
Many of you know that we use only student speakers at
our annual commencement ceremonies in May, August and
December. In closing the book on 2016-17, permit me to
reference the inspiring remarks made in May 2017 by Robert
Wood, a remarkable young Marine Corps veteran (veterans
represent many of our finest students) who faced challenges
and personal tragedy in his return to college for a bachelor’s
degree in culinary arts and systems. Those present at the
Community Arts Center ceremony that day were deeply
moved – including me.
“We know that a knife is not sharpened on soft surfaces; it
takes pressure and steel to really create a sharp edge,” Robert
told his fellow graduates. “As people, it’s our struggles and hard
times that sharpen us. Fighting through our problems, and
overcoming obstacles and challenges, is our steel. To improve
implies that we were once less than what we are right now,
and every day we should strive for improvement. I guess what
I’m really saying is to fight and never give up.
“Tough times will come, and despite how it feels when
you’re in them, they will go. But if you choose to give up, there
is no going back. Look around you; we are all here together,
side by side, in celebration of our accomplishment. We’ve

At Penn College, we pride ourselves on teaching.

Charles R. Niedermyer II, instructor of baking and pastry
arts/culinary arts, was named among Dessert Professional
5 Penn College Annual Report Magazine’s 2017 Top Ten Pastry Chefs in America.
A Craftsman’s
Pursuit
Focus on ‘small things’ leads to big honor
by Jennifer A. Cline, writer/magazine editor
With a view overlooking the Hudson River, mere steps from
New York City’s World Trade Center, hundreds gather to view
the works of trendsetting artists, experts in a medium that
catches the eye and makes the mouth water.
Only 10 are invited to display their work: Dessert Professional
Magazine’s 2017 Top Ten Pastry Chefs in America, as named
by the nation’s leading publication for the chocolate, pastry,
artisan bread and frozen dessert industries.
In a large reception room, where a flock of photographers
will soon crowd shoulder-to-shoulder for the publisher’s
official announcement, Pennsylvania College of Technology’s
Chef Charles R. Niedermyer II keeps his intricate edible
artwork stocked as attendees gather to snap photos, talk
with the artist and taste a sample.
Niedermyer, a 2000 graduate of the college’s baking and
pastry arts major and an instructor in the program, is
humbled by the honor, which is one of the highest bestowed
on pastry chefs in the U.S.
“It’s kind of surreal,” he says. “It’s the kind of thing you dream
about in pastry school.” »
2016-17 6
Niedermyer was 12 years old when he found his
calling. The “preacher’s kid” was helping to make
thousands of cookies for a church youth group bake sale
under the coaching of caterer and family friend Chef
“As a true
Mary Ann Combs.
“She took to showing me the way,” Niedermyer said.
In eighth grade, he told his parents that he knew
craftsm,
what he wanted to do with his career.
“He came up to me and said, ‘Dad, I want to be a
chef,’” said his father, Charles Sr. “From that point on, he
started to work for that.”
“My first job was washing dishes in a bakery at 16,” the
younger Niedermyer said. “My first question was: Can I
you’re always focused eat?”
But his motivation was serious. He worked in the

corners of the operation. At home, he practiced his

“He knew what he wanted to be,” his mother, Patricia,
added.
improving on the result.” “I went all through high school knowing I wanted
to be a chef,” Niedermyer said, and he set his eyes on
enrolling at Penn College.
“I was just all in. I’ve never done anything else as a
professional career.”
After his graduation from Penn College, Niedermyer
worked in hotels, restaurants and bakeries – including
the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. and Penn State Bakery –
before answering a call from his former instructor Chef
Judith P. Shimp to return to his alma mater to teach part
time. Less than a year later, in Fall 2005, he joined the
Penn College faculty full time. He has since received
the college’s Excellence in Teaching and Excellence in
Academic Advising Awards, earned his bachelor’s degree
in technology management, and was nominated by a
student to present the college’s David London My Last
Words lecture.
During the address, Niedermyer explained that to
practice a craft is to focus on “small things.”
“As a true craftsman, you’re always focused on the
smallest of details, the simplest of tasks, always with the
goal of improving on the result,” he said. “A craftsman is
in a never-ending pursuit of quality.”
That quest has led Niedermyer and faculty colleagues
to industry events across the country, as both teachers
and observers, usually with students in tow.
Such events are essential in a field where technical
requirements are growing and trends in product design
and consumer taste are continually evolving.
Niedermyer meticulously adds a garnish to a red velvet
cake-inspired breakfast pastry.

For the New York City reception where he would be honored,
Niedermyer prepares a northcentral Pennsylvania-influenced
dessert: a petite chocolate verrine made up of a milk chocolate
cremeux, bourbon-white chocolate gelee, salted caramel
popcorn and a cocoa nib streusel, garnished with baby corn.
“The industry doesn’t stop. The trends don’t stop,”
Niedermyer said. “The opportunities are out there, and I
want to make that all available to my students.”
When Niedermyer’s students provided
demonstrations and tastings at the 2016 Atlantic Bakery
Expo, the expertise they demonstrated as they provided
product insight to business owners caught the attention
of Dessert Professional Magazine editor Matthew K.
Stevens, who looked to the education the students
receive at Penn College.
Stevens remained impressed as he interacted with
Niedermyer – usually accompanied by Penn College
students – at more events.
“Our industry is grateful to talented, dedicated chef-
instructors like Charles Niedermyer,” Stevens said.
“I am really honored and humbled to receive
this award, but it’s a reflection of the work that the
department of hospitality is doing here,” Niedermyer
said. “I’m just lucky enough to be the one to receive it.”
He remembers how he got to this point, and how
he’ll get to the next milestone: It isn’t by happenstance.
“When I give tours, I always emphasize to prospective
students that baking is not a glamorous, high-profile,
lucrative career and business,” he said.
Rather, it’s about getting up early, working on your
feet and, to achieve a craftsman’s expertise, remaining
focused on improving the basics.
“We’re in the pursuit to solve problems,” Niedermyer
said. “When I teach a simple technique or process, when
you get to the end result, there’s always something you
want to make better. There’s something, always, you
want to fix. … The craftsman is always trying to solve
these problems. But here’s the catch: Inevitably, when
you solve a problem, it opens up two or three or four
more. It’s this never-ending pursuit.”
While Niedermyer’s pursuit continues, with goals
of competing on Team USA in the World Cup of Bread
(Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie), and of making
Penn College known as a national leader in hospitality
education, he hopes the pursuit endures in the hearts
and careers of students.
“I always emphasize with my students: Is there a
better way to do this?” he said. The students, in turn,
find new ways of doing things. “It’s so much fun to be
working here with creative, energetic minds. … The
students keep me coming back. They keep me on my
toes.” ■

START JUMP DUAL ENROLLMENT DELIVERS CREDITS AND CONFIDENCE by Tom Speicher, writer/video editor THE STUDENT MANIPULATES THE APPARATUS WITH THE CONFIDENCE OF A SEASONED TECHNICIAN. She grasps a metal hook and connects it to a two-plated mold. She employs an overhead crane to safely lower the 1,500-pound mold into the machine’s clamping unit. Moments later, she deftly aligns the mold’s locating ring to a nozzle that will deliver a thermoplastic substance into the mold’s cavity. The injection molder is primed to produce plastic parts, and the student didn’t break a sweat. Her seamless effort belies her status on this day as a sophomore plastics and polymer engineering technology major at Pennsylvania College of Technology. For good reason. Sapphire E. Naugle has been taking Penn College plastics courses since she was a sophomore – in high school. The Jersey Shore resident earned 18 college credits before graduating from high school, thanks to Penn College NOW. The nationally accredited dual-enrollment program allows students to take a variety of Penn College courses for free at their high school or career and technology center. The transferable credits jump-start students’ college education and slash their tuition costs. “I wish I was able to go into every single high school and just grab a hold of those kids and say, ‘Listen, you need to take these classes,’” said Naugle, who cut approximately $11,000 from her tuition through Penn College NOW. “You’re able to save so much money and to start finding that direction before you just apply to a college and guess what you want to do.” » 9 Penn College Annual Report
