Stand for State, an initiative aimed at empowering Penn Staters to stand up for one another, kicked off this week with University-wide events. Many of the decorations and giveaways were inspired by Green Dot, a national leader in violence prevention education.
This spring Penn State awarded almost 14,000 diplomas to students University-wide who are completing associate, baccalaureate, master’s, law, doctoral and medical degrees, bringing the University’s number of graduates to an estimated total of more than 800,000. Many of the University's graduates received their degrees at campuses other than University Park. This photo gallery contains a sampling of commencement activities at Penn State campuses across Pennsylvania.
Thanks to everyone who participated in Penn State Today's 'Summer Travel' photo contest, highlighting Penn Staters whose summer travels have taken them across the globe. The top-five photos, as selected by our editors, are featured here, with the winning photo submitted by recent alumna Alexandra Fahoome at Utah's Arches National Park.
Nearly 1,200 new first-year students moved into Penn State Behrend last week, making it one of the largest and most diverse classes in the college's history. Each student brought with them a different collection of items, many of which helped to tell a story about the student and his or her unique personality.
The Rhythms of Life Series is a vibrant succession of cultural performances providing hours of lively and interesting entertainment to the campus community.
