Behrend Magazine: Fall 2018

On the Cover

The cover of this issue of Behrend Magazine features a collection of memorabilia from the college’s 70-year history. These items from the Behrend Archives reflect the evolution of the college from Behrend Center in 1948 to Behrend College in the 1970s to today’s Penn State Behrend. Among the items pictured: The Cub, a yearbook from 1950; a felt Behrend College banner; a freshman dink, worn to identify a first-year student in the 1940s; photos of Ernst and Mary Behrend; the Behrend Medallion awarded to Mary; and a 1980s-era notebook depicting Glenhill Farmhouse. Read more about Behrend’s history in this magazine.

Join Us to Celebrate

You’re invited to join in the celebration of our 70th anniversary. Make plans now to come to campus September 21-23 for Parents, Families & Alumni Weekend.
