The Jamie Cordial Hall Foundation, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, has committed $50,000 to create an endowed program for Penn State Altoona’s Health and Wellness Center. Dale and Michele Cordial created the foundation to honor their late daughter and former Penn State Altoona student Jamie Cordial Hall. The Jamie Cordial Hall Kindness Program supports the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) on campus and will aid students in need of mental health services, particularly grief counseling. The endowment will also help students in need of medical treatment who are unable to pay for services.
