“As I get ready to embark on the next chapter of my life, Penn State has prepared me well for what’s next, and I will apply everything I learned and embrace the uncertainty.”
To paraphrase Mark Twain: The reports of higher education’s death have been an exaggeration. American universities produce more research and relevant knowledge for the world at large than any other institutions I know of. Tuition may be too damn high, but over the long-run, undergraduate degrees are definitely worth the cost. But Penn State could be so much more. It used to be, I think.
