Human development and family studies major Lauren Lomas, a Schreyer Honors Scholar, has become one of only eight Penn State students from across the Commonwealth selected to showcase their research in Harrisburg at the 13th annual Undergraduate Research at the Capitol - Pennsylvania (URC - PA) conference.
Penn State Brandywine will host its first Common Read event of the 2015 spring semester as Stephen Cimbala, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, discusses "Is the World Going to Hell?" on Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 12:30 p.m. in Main Building classroom 203.
Whether you just have a class project or lecture to record or enjoy the limelight, the One Button Studio now available in the Vairo Library is a great resource for Penn State Brandywine's students, faculty and staff.
The One Button Studio is a simplified video recording studio. The Penn State Brandywine community will now be able to create high-quality video projects without having any previous video production experience.
Recently, 20 Penn State students had the opportunity to travel over 3,000 miles from Pennsylvania for a weeklong study-abroad opportunity hosted by Penn State Brandywine. Global Programs, offered to students at all Penn State campus locations through Penn State Brandywine, allowed the students to explore the city of London, England for an eight-day span, all while earning credits toward graduation.
Rita Bowker, hydrographic survey technician on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) ship Thomas Jefferson, and Laura Guertin, associate professor of earth science at Penn State Brandywine and participant in the NOAA Teacher at Sea Program, will present on Jan. 15 at 11:30 a.m. in Tomezsko 103 about hydrographic surveying.
Megan Griffith took advantage of every opportunity to do research during her career as a psychology major at Penn State Brandywine. In her final year, her go-getting approach paid off, granting her an amazing journey. She, alongside Assistant Professor of Psychology Dana Martin, completed a cross-cultural research study that delves into the representation of women in the media in the United States and Italy.
Penn State Brandywine's fall 2014 graduates were recognized for their achievements at the Dec. 19 commencement in the Commons Building Gymnasium, with proud parents, relatives and friends looking on.
Chancellor Kristin R. Woolever welcomed the class of 2014 and encouraged the graduates to find something they are passionate about and to work hard for it. She also reminded them that they are the gift Penn State Brandywine has to give to the world.
Information sciences and technology (IST) major Cory Kitay never imagined he'd be working nearly 2,000 miles away from Penn State Brandywine during his final year of college. The senior recently returned to campus after a 10-week internship program with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), located in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Established in 1943, LANL began as "site Y" of the Manhattan Project with the sole purpose of building and designing the world's first atomic bomb.
