Owens and Onwards with Special Guest Dr. Benjamin Fry

Dr. Ben Fry, a behavioral neuroscientist and associate teaching professor at Penn State University and Owens graduate, will share his story during an Owens & Onwards presentation. From dropping out of high school at age 17 and obtaining his GED to graduating from Owens six years later, Dr. Fry will share his journey through academia, with an emphasis on the unique challenges faced by non-traditional and first-generation students. He will discuss how to make the most of your time at Owens and beyond, resources to take advantage of, and how to ask for opportunities instead of waiting on them.
