Emily Papa's decision to pursue a nursing degree at Penn State Schuylkill was a natural one, influenced by her family members who also are nurses and by her exposure to health care programs in vocational school. Over the course of her four years, she was a dedicated tutor, and she was part of the first cohort of nursing students to participate in the inaugural pinning ceremony at Penn State Schuylkill. She looks forward to beginning her career at Geisinger St. Luke’s in the medical-surgical unit.
