Class of 2021, as you navigate lives beyond the red doors of Penn Charter, we wanted to provide you with some helpful tips to ensure your success and continued connection to the OPC network.
OPC Helpful Tips
OPC Spotlight The OPC community never ceases to amaze us, and in each OPC Spirit we do our best to recognize those who are living lives that make a difference.
We acknowledge young OPCs like Jack Roseman OPC '17, Ben Szuhaj OPC '15, and Leah Garden OPC '12, who are expanding their professional horizons in innovative industries. We celebrate our OPCs, John Somers OPC '78, David Schwartz OPC '84 and Pat Keane OPC '88, who have created incredible careers for themselves and are now being recognized for their dedication.
We cheer on Evan McFadden OPC '17, Reece Whitley OPC '18 and Sarah Foley OPC '20 who competed in the Summer 2021 Olympic Trials, showing us what true grit looks like as they chase their Olympic dreams.
We show gratitude to Jon Bari OPC '85 and his son, Jax Bari, Class of 2031, for their commitment to raise awareness about Celiac Disease. Lastly, we applaud the courage and selflessness of Jessica Kolansky OPC '03, who donated her kidney to save her father's life.
Campus Corner Color Day 2021
After a year hiatus, Blue and Yellow teams were eager to get back to Maguire Field for Color Day 2021. One can only assume that during the year off, Blue team members worked hard to ensure the Yellow winning streak would come to an end. The hard work paid off, and Blue came away victorious after an intense rope pull. The final score of Color Day 2021 was 19-18, Blue Team! Don't see your class listed?
