Venue
WordCamp Scranton is being held at Johnson College! You can follow them at twitter here.
If we check the bio and history of the college we can find:-
This private, two-year college, offering 13 degree programs of study, focuses on providing students with the technical skills and general education needed to succeed in a demanding, industry-driven world.
Johnson College, a two-year technical college, was founded by Orlando S. Johnson, a wealthy coal baron in the Scranton area who died in 1912. Mr. Johnson left the bulk of his estate to establish and maintain a trade school and his purpose became the mission of the College as an institution “where young men and women can be taught useful arts and trades that may enable them to make an honorable living and become contributing members of society.”
