Penn Staters make an impact everywhere. Now, there’s a brand initiative that puts it right out there.
The University will introduce the initiative on Saturday, October 12, during halftime of the Michigan game in Beaver Stadium. Across the state, including here at Penn State Behrend, we’ll be unveiling the brand message on Monday, October 14, and you’re invited to be part of the announcement.
Chelsea Monroe, a Williamsport native, has always been good at math. She also knew she wanted to work in the medical field. When she learned that Penn State Behrend’s accelerated optometry program would allow her to spend one less year in school, she knew it added up to a smart career choice.
All that “My name is…” business at Wednesday’s Career and Internship Fair felt a bit like speed-dating: Every conversation was shortened by the fact that someone else was waiting.
This year’s fair was the largest ever: More than 1,000 students attended. They lined up for 160 different companies, including Microsoft, Target, Coca-Cola and ExxonMobil.
Penn State Behrend inducted seven individuals into the College’s Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Three championship winning teams were inducted, too: the 1993-94 women’s basketball team, 1978 men’s soccer team, and the 2003 men’s soccer team.

America’s classrooms are changing in many ways, but there are constants, too. Regardless of economic, technological and demographic shifts, our youngest learners need teachers who are able to design and deliver high-quality instruction in a thoughtful, age-appropriate manner.
