“Our students have formed bonds through profound changes this year, and through these bonds, found their strength, shone brightly and made lives better. We are so very proud of them and are grateful for the gifts of hope and optimism this Holiday season.”—Chancellor Marilyn J. Wells

Emily Jefferson, a senior at Penn State, observes and records the growth of bacteria her MICRB 202 (Introductory Microbiology Laboratory) class isolated during week-one of the 2020 fall semester. Students were outfitted with new masks, face shields, and gloves prior to every lab session, and their stations were set up to provide appropriate social distancing.
George W. Franz, who served as associate professor of history and American studies, director of academic affairs and interim chancellor during a nearly four-decade career at Penn State Brandywine, died Dec. 10, following a four-year battle with multiple myeloma. He was 78.
Transitioning from high school to college can be challenging under the best of circumstances. But for many first-year students, beginning college during a pandemic added an unusual aspect to the adjustment.
Penn State Brandywine’s fall graduates will celebrate their milestone achievement at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19 with a University-wide virtual commencement ceremony, preceded by video conferencing with campus faculty and staff at 1:15 p.m.
To help students transition to college, Brandywine offered a new series of student-to-student panel discussions this fall called Survive and Thrive at Brandywine: Conversations with Peer Leaders.
