Local and national media have been covering some of the good work of our students and faculty members over the past month. We wanted to share a few of these stories with you in case you missed them.

Metro reporter Natalie Shure interviewed Marketa and Carlos Johnson, a mother and son who attend Peirce together, to hear about how they balance work, home responsibilities, and earning their college degrees.

FOXBusiness reporter Emily Driscoll tapped Chanel Greene, the Manager of the Office of Financial Aid here at Peirce, about how students should use their 2013 tax refund.

Jovanna Acchione Bevilacqua, a 1981 alumna of the College; her husband; and her son own Fabio & Danny’s Station Cafe, located on the Philadelphia-bound side of the Main Line tracks in Wayne, Pa. Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer Jeremy Dillon covered the restaurant’s recent decision to host Friday-night BYOB dinners, and the impact recent transit-oriented developments have had on local businesses in Wayne.
