Vanessa Brown may soon join Tony Payton as the second currently enrolled CCP student to serve in the PA House of Representatives.

Vanessa was a student in my Community Involvement class; it soon became apparent that she could be teaching the class. She is certainly one of the most talented students I have been privileged to teach.

Vanessa has a very impressive record as a community activist. You can learn more about Vanessa at Vanessabrown2008.com
