Like many of her classmates, Dana Hallahan was drawn to Penn State Brandywine by the University’s reputation, the small campus feel and the location close to her home. Although she originally planned to complete her degree at University Park through the 2+2 program, Hallahan found Brandywine to be the “right fit” for her, and the campus’ academic and leadership opportunities motivated her to stay for four years.
In an era of increasingly frequent job changes — when even 10-15 years at the same employer stands out for its longevity — Distinguished Professor of Political Science Stephen Cimbala’s 50 years at Penn State Brandywine reflect a remarkable achievement. Cimbala — a Penn State alumnus — joined Penn State Brandywine in 1973 as the campus’ first chief academic officer.
