Penn State Commission for Adult Learners

“I started my Penn State experience in the fall of 2019. I spent the last 18 years running a state-licensed family daycare out of my home. I am a wife, mother of three, and a bonus mom of two. My oldest daughter has special needs, and that led me to pursue my degree in human development and family studies. I decided to close my daycare and become a full-time adult learner. At first, I was very overwhelmed with the idea of going back to college and computer work, but Penn State made every step of the way easy. My professors, advisers, classmates, and the HelpDesk have been there for me any time I am in need of support or encouragement.”
