Caylynne Sterner and Alexandria Luckenbaugh attended the 2024 National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL)

The York Branch sponsored scholarships to NCCWSL for two Penn State York college students. Caylynne, a junior, wanted to prepare for her Disney internship while Alex, a sophomore, wanted to develop more leadership skills. Caylynne later wrote: “Alex and I both had a wonderful time at the NCCWSL conference. It was amazing to listen to and meet other empowering women from around the world, whether they were students like us or speakers.  ….  Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity. We were both thankful to attend NCCWSL and we overall had a great time!”

To quote Rita Meisenhelder, current chair of our Higher Education Scholarship Committee, “Awarding scholarships to students is a rewarding experience and an important cause of our Branch.”  We look forward to continuing to offer NCCWSL and other scholarships in the future.
