Lisa Wandel is your typical Penn State employee. Director of Residential Dining here at Penn State, you may see her walking around campus in business casual attire and a pleasant smile. She’s comes from a Penn State family, a graduate herself and two children who were/are Penn State students. Nothing out of the ordinary. What you wouldn’t know at first glance is that she’s a total bad ass and president of the Centre County Women’s Adventure Club.

These numbers represent a decrease from last year.
