Alumni and long-time supporters of Peru State College, Paul (’67) and Arlene (Borcher ’67) Fell of Lincoln, and Jerry (’64) and Christina (Banks ’88) Joy of Stella were selected by the Student Senate as the Grand Marshals for 2022.
In addition to being alumni, the Fells and Joys are former faculty/staff members at the college and have remained engaged with their alma mater since graduation.
Paul Fell was an art professor, and Arlene Fell taught home/consumer economics from 1974-84, and later were longtime co-Presidents of Peru State College’s National Alumni Association.
