Get to know the members of Court pair #5!
Meet Elizabeth Kernion and George Khoury, members of the final Homecoming Court pair for 2008!
Elizabeth is an Economics major from Wexford, PA. A lover of Pad Thai and chocolate chip cookies from West Commons, Elizabeth also enjoys tailgating and singing “Hey Baby” at football games. Self-proclaimed as motivated, happy and fun-loving, Elizabeth thinks she was nominated for her “genuine love for Penn State and willingness to give back to the university. Oh, and so my friends could take pictures with the life-sized cardboard cutout in the HUB.”
Last Look: Elizabeth wants you to consider all choices for Homecoming Queen. “I think any of us on court would be a great King or Queen because each of us embodies a different facet of Penn State, and I hope that people vote for the candidate they feel most drawn to.”
George, a Chemical Engineering major, hails from Allentown, PA. Penn State proud, his favorite things across the board are blue and white, football games and singing the Penn State Alma Mater. George describes himself as smart, fun and caring, and thinks he “embodies the Penn State spirit.” Says George, “I inspire those around me to do their best and try to bring out the good in everyone. I believe I best represent the common student.”
Last Look: George has both logical and magical reasons for wanting to be your Homecoming King. “If I were King and could wave a magic wand and change one thing about Penn State, I would lower tuition. As King, I would work to further complete the goals of the students we serve.”
