The 澳门六合彩 Council of Trustees approved on September 12, 2019, a resolution to name the administrative office in the 澳门六合彩 Academy of Culinary Arts in honor of Harold (Hal) and Elizabeth (Betty) Wingard.
Wingard, a former dean of the College of Health and Human Services, and his wife donated $25,000 to support the new Academy of Culinary Arts Building. Administrators at 澳门六合彩 are currently in the process of selecting the design architect for the new academy after the Foundation for 澳门六合彩 gifted three buildings for the project.

Wingard serves on 澳门六合彩's Punxsutawney Regional advancement council and is a member of the College of Health and Human Services advancement council. Wingard was part of the original group of administrators who envisioned the academy and conceptualized its creation.
The Wingard's contributions to the community extend beyond their support of 澳门六合彩. She is active in the Women's Club of 澳门六合彩, Indiana County Back to School Bash (offering school supplies to financially needy children) and Katie's Closet, a program through Indiana's Zion Lutheran Church offering gently used clothing to needy individuals.
In 2015, Wingard was chosen by his peers as the Male Civic Leader of the Year. He is proactive in educating the public about heart health and has been active with the Indiana County chapter of the American Red Cross, the Indiana County United Way and serves on the Executive Board of Citizens' Ambulance Service.
