Times flies when you’re having fun. Hard to believe, before we know it, the summer season of 2021 will be winding down, and it will be time for students of all ages to head back to school. Here’s to hoping this school year brings more normalcy – for students, teachers, administrative staff and parents, too!
Despite the challenges of the past year-plus, Berks County colleges and universities have forged forward with some exciting projects. Want to know what they’re up to? Turn to page 21 to find out! Berks is also rich when it comes to students looking to try their hand at trades fields being home to both Berks Career and Technology Center and Berks Technical Institute. Are you familiar with all these institutions have to offer? If not, flip to page 30.
Also in our August issue, we’re thrilled to welcome back the Berks Jazz Fest, an economic and entertainment highlight, this month. Is a show on your schedule? Want to learn more? Do it on page 9. Perhaps you’re looking to make the most of the warm weather months by dining al fresco. Berks County has a whole host of options. We’ve highlighted nine of them on page 11.
Finally, you may notice a new name in the art director spot on our masthead this month. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Quynh Fisher to the position. Quynh has a long history with our parent company, Innovative Designs & Publishing, formerly working with the Fluid Power Journal publication. We know she’s thrilled to transition to the BCL team, and we’re thrilled to have her!
