2026 Platinum Induction

Paul and JoAnna Buber
Paul and JoAnna are proud Penn State alumni. Paul received his bachelor’s in business administration from Penn State Harrisburg in 1982 and JoAnna received her BSN from the Nese College of Nursing in 2015. They are longtime supporters of various Penn State colleges, including Harrisburg and Schuylkill. Their pride in the University inspired the creation of four scholarships—two each for nursing and accounting students at Harrisburg and Schuylkill—through their estate. Their support will provide vital financial assistance to future accountants and nurses, reflecting their own professional journeys.

Huntington Bank
A community champion of equity and education, Huntington Bank has charitably supported the Penn State Harrisburg’s Capital Area Institute for Mathematics and Science (CAIMS) since 2019.  CAIMS brings together education, business, industry, government, and the community to assist school districts in the delivery of high-quality mathematics and science education.

Marc Kurowski
Marc is a proud Penn State civil engineering alumnus.  He has faithfully supported the university as a donor and volunteer leader since 1992.  He currently serves as the President & CEO of K&W Engineers and King Mansion Events.  Since 2005, K&W Engineers has delivered innovative, strategic civil engineering solutions throughout Pennsylvania.  Most recently, Marc made a leadership gift to advance renovations to the baseball stadium on campus, and will be honored with the naming of Whitey Kurowski Field, in memory of his grandfather – a two-time world series champion and member of the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame.
