“We are proud to sponsor this year’s Open Performance Mares class at the World Show, where the top quarter horses in the world compete,” said Anthony C. Weagley, CEO of Malvern Bank, National Association. “This sponsorship is in line with our commitment to serve the equestrian industry by combining our knowledge of horses and financial services.

“On behalf of the Bank, along with Blue Mountain Quarter Horses, Kristy’s Quarter Horses, Castle Ranch and Pait Show Horses, I want to congratulate all qualifiers and competitors on a strong 2018 season!”

Delaware County Community College

The college is one of only three community colleges to have received a grant from the Department of Education’s Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language program this fiscal year. The two-year grant of $95,658 will allow the college to improve practical Spanish language and cultural knowledge throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania.

The project’s goals are to expand access to Spanish language and cultural education and enhance employment options for students in professional fields with demand for workers with Spanish language and cultural knowledge. Key academic components of the grant include creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) for introductory and intermediate Spanish courses and a new certificate program in Spanish for the Professions.

The OER would eliminate textbook costs for students in these courses and will be piloted during year two of the grant with expansion into other sections in the future. The grant also allows for training for Spanish faculty members who will teach using the OER.
