As we kick off the first week of classes at Penn College, we're thrilled to share a conversation with Kaysey Beury, Coordinator of Success Solutions at the Michael J. Hudock, Sr. Center for Academic Excellence. Fortunately, we caught up with her before the semester began—because we’re certain she’s incredibly busy connecting with new students. Go Kaysey!
If you're unsure about the support systems available to our students, this conversation is for you. Did you know that nearly half of our student population are first-generation college students or the first in their families to pursue a bachelor's degree? Kaysey is a passionate advocate for first-gen students—and for all students. In this inspiring discussion, she shares her own higher education journey and how it fuels her commitment to student success and her daily work at Penn College.
Thanks for listening!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
