A Holiday Message from Penn State Behrend

Penn State Behrend Holiday Video 2023

Text Description: Join the Behrend Lion as he reflects upon the students and alumni, faculty, staff, and friends who have made Penn State Behrend what we are today. As he looks through a photo album labeled with the 75th Anniversary logo, a montage of photos and video clips showing the people of Behrend is shown. The Lion then visits the memorial to Mary Behrend as a voice-over plays. On-Screen Text: In this season of giving, as we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we're reflecting on our favorite gifts. We remember the gift that Mary Behrend made to Penn State in 1948. Her generous donation of Glenhill Farm created the Behrend Center. Today, as Penn State Behrend, we celebrate our greatest gift: our people. Voice-Over: “After the decision to gift Glenhill Farm was made, came that wonderful warmth around the heart. … I like to feel that those studying here think as kindly of us as we do of them.” –Mary Behrend

As we celebrate our 75th anniversary this holiday season, we are reminded of our favorite gifts—the students and alumni, faculty, staff, and friends who have made us what we are today. Happy holidays!
