UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State World Campus honored its third Homecoming Court with a celebration on the University Park campus of Penn State on Oct. 13.

Court members received bouquets of flowers and sashes during the ceremony held in the Outreach Building at University Park. The court is composed of current students, alumni, staff and faculty. Court members are selected because they embody Penn State's values — including integrity, respect and responsibility — and have striven for excellence in academics, student involvement, community service or leadership.

The court members are students Kylie Henning, Erica Elizabeth Rey, Cassandra Barr, Amelia Old, Jennifer Sheasley, Shayana "Shay" Bennett, Yuki Yamashita, Anela Burg and Matthew Duncan. Alumni court members are Brayden Caraynoff-Huber and Jennifer Zeares. Faculty and staff court members are Sydney Klainberg, William Horton, Sarah Peacock and Anthony Crisafulli.
