Milford, PA (July 9, 2015) – On the heels of her recent Top 25 Women in Business Award, the Founder and Chief Difference Maker of KKPR Marketing & Public Relations, Katrina Foster, was elected to the Penn State Worthington Scranton Campus Advisory Board of Directors. Ms. Foster sits among 35 other elected members for a three-year term to help advance higher education’s role in local areas and develop a better understanding of community needs.
The purpose of the board is to advise and assist the chancellor, the vice president of commonwealth campuses and the president of Penn State University relative to the functioning of the campus as an essential part of the university. Also the board supports the campus and serves as a liaison with the community and advocate for Penn State University in the community.
“When I received a call from the chancellor to ask if I would accept the nomination, I was dumbfounded,” said Ms. Foster. “But when I received the letter of nomination to the board, I couldn’t have felt more pride for my alma mater, more excitement for what the future holds for not only Penn State, but also for my growing company, and just sheer happiness for being recognized by such an esteemed institution. This is truly an honor.”
