When Bill and Connie Hayes were growing up in Mifflin County, they both say, their parents instilled in them the importance of supporting their community and helping their neighbors. Today, the couple not only lives according to these values, but they actively encourage and inspire others to do the same.
For their many contributions to the local community and Penn State University, the Hayeses will be recognized as the university’s 2025 Renaissance Fund honorees on Nov. 11 at a reception supporting the newly created William P. and Connie H. Hayes Renaissance Scholarship Fund.
