On the Cover:

John Jarecki, Student Government Association president, led the campaign to bring a Lion bench to Behrend. The life-sized statue of Penn State’s mascot, wrapped in a scarf, saves a seat for anyone who wants to sit a spell. The Behrend Lion bench is near the entrance to Senat Hall, in the recently expanded Ben Lane Plaza. It was purchased by the Student Government Association, with a goal of connecting Behrend students to the larger Penn State identity. Learn more about the Lion bench on page 6. Photo by Jaret Kelly.
