On the Cover:

Rob Parise, a Software Engineering major, and Ali Bastian, an Accounting major, were photographed in front of Penn State Behrend’s new food truck. Rob highly recommends the Anchor Burger (hold the jalapenos for him) and Ali is a fan of the curly fries. Dubbed “The Clipper” in keeping with Penn State Behrend’s tradition of naming food and housing facilities after people and ships connected to the Battle of Lake Erie, the thirty-one-foot Freightliner set sail on its maiden voyage to Hammermill Building on the first day of the fall 2017 semester. Students were soon lining up between classes to nosh on burgers, fries, tacos, chicken and waffle sandwiches, and more. Learn more about The Clipper and other advances in campus dining.
