Carter Lammando is among 110 students nationwide who received a Navy ROTC scholarship through the Immediate Scholarship Reservation (ISR) program.

In November, Carter underwent an hour-and-a-half interview with the commanding officer in charge of the Navy Talent Acquisition Group Philadelphia Command, which encompasses regions of Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia and Delaware. A few months later, Carter was notified he will receive a full, four-year scholarship, including all fees and books. Carter is the son of Marie Conley and Chris Lammando.

Butler emphasized that while the program revolves around kayaks and other forms of adventure paddling, its mission is much broader.
The American Marketing Association (AMA) has launched its third professional chapter in Pennsylvania and first in central Pennsylvania, with nearly 80 marketing and strategic communications professionals joining as founding members in the first four months of opening membership.

Members of AMA of Central PA took part in a roundtable event in Harrisburg.
