Chemical engineering department participates in 5k race to benefit area food banks
4/11/2016
Members of the Department of Chemical Engineering participated in their first intradepartmental 5k race Saturday, April 9, as part of the Bellefonte FaithCentre's 10th annual 5k walk/run.
Three teams comprised of undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty, staff and families, competed against one another for the top prize. Participants were challenged to run a 3.1 mile course through the rolling hills of Bellefonte to raise money for area food banks.
While age might have been a factor in the final rankings, participants cited department team-building and their support of a worthy cause as the biggest accomplishments of the day.
The final team rankings were: first place, undergraduate students; second place, graduate students; and third place, faculty, staff and families.
The department hopes to make the spring race an annual event.
