The College has many entry programs designed to allow prospective students to sample our services before enrolling in classes. One of those programs is KEYS (Keystone Education Yields Success) which helps clients who are receiving financial support work towards a college degree.  Here is the story of one graduate, Courtney Thompson '09, who uses her personal experiences in KEYS to help as a professional with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
