Abby Vertil on Why You Should Want Her Job

Abby Vertil on Why You Should Want Her Job

As a member of the IUP Council of Trustees, Abby Vertil sees what goes into running a university. As a student, she’s on the receiving end of the decisions that are made. She describes it as the best of both worlds. But, Vertil is also an IUP senior, and her time on the council is running short. If you’re curious about the position, learn more during a Zoom session today at noon. The deadline to turn in your application is October 26.
