After graduating from Penn State, Dr. Rakowsky pursued his dental doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.

He earned five varsity sports letters at Penn State in football and baseball and is a member of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. He also coached high school basketball for two full decades, only recently retiring from it.
