"The
O’Pake Science Center is a testament to Senator O’Pake’s
vision... The
name of the Center also speaks to his lifelong record of
service to the people and organizations of Greater Reading
and to strengthening all services and programs offered
within our higher education community.”
--
Dr. Thomas Flynn, Alvernia College President |
Saying he was "humbled" by
the naming of the building, Sen. O'Pake spoke to the importance of
science and technology training:
"This new science center provides us a platform
from which to train the next crop of doctors, scientists, researchers,
and clinicians, who will not only be leaders in their respective
disciplines, but leaders in their communities."
