The center s funding was recently renewed for a third consecutive year. Loppnow, who will graduate from Rider in May, works as a guidance counselor at Neshaminy High School. Hennessy, who graduated from Rider last December, is a consultant for the Bucks County Council for Drug and Alcohol Dependence. As a facilitator of student assistant teams, she covers the Neshaminy, Pennsbury, Pennridge and New Hope school districts.
