The two are seen in two media reports on the mission, including a newspaper article  published by Daijiworld.com and a news video  by Mathrubhumi News.

Penn College’s logo is featured prominently in the video, including during an interview with U.S. Consul General Christopher W. Hodges, who serves at the Consulate General in Chennai, India.

Penn College is among 18 U.S. colleges and universities participating in the Education Trade Mission, along with universities from Australia, the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland, among others.
