Kimberly Denis Makes Dean's List

Penn State is not for the faint of heart. With more than 44,000 graduate and undergraduate students, it is one of the largest universities in the United States. Standing out among all those bodies is not an easy task.

New Milford's Kimberly Denis has managed to do just that. Not only did she make the Dean's List this fall, but she is also an active volunteer on campus. 

Denis was an energetic force in raising funds for the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, THON, that took place in February.

THON, the largest student run philanthropy in the world, is a year-long effort that raises funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer. This year Penn State raised $10,686, 924.83. Denis is one of 15,000 student volunteers that helped make this year's event a success. 

A 2010 graduate of Immaculate Heart Academy, Denis was a member of the Bergen Catholic Cheerleading squad,  member of Amnesty International, Midnight Run, and Relay for Life.

A sophomore at Penn State, she is majoring in Marketing with a minor in International Business. Denis is a committee member of the Penn State Dance Marathon Morale group.  

Morale is the committee responsible for keeping the dancers spirits high and keep them going during the 46 hour no sitting, no sleeping Dance Marathon that culminates each February.

Denis is also involved in Atlas THON, the Snowboarding Club and is a member of the National Society of Leadership & Success.

In her spare time, she works at George's Floral Boutique.
