Angela Knight (Penn State Class of 1998)
Angela Knight grew up in Altoona, so Penn State Altoona has always been a part of her life. It also turned out to be a great place to start her college education. Penn State Altoona allowed her to adjust to college life without overwhelming her with the size of University Park. Knight started at Altoona in 1994 and, after three semesters, made the transition to University Park where she completed her degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Environmental Engineering. Since graduation, her job as an engineer with Dow Chemical has taken her from West Virginia to Louisiana and now to Salem, Connecticut. Through all of her travels, one thing has remained constant—her love of Penn State and the great memories she has of Penn State Altoona.


Debra Dodson (Penn State Altoona 1990)
Deb Dodson attended Penn State Altoona in 1990 before transferring to the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown to complete her degree in Management and Economics. She currently serves as the Volunteer Services Coordinator for the American Cancer Society's Central Region of Pennsylvania. She resides in Irvona, Pennsylvania, with her husband and son.
