Warm Weather Forces OPP to Cut Electrical Use

Due to the unseasonably warm weather hitting the region today and tomorrow, the Office of the Physical Plant announced the possibility of a mandatory reduction of electricity for campus. In the event that happens, there will be a two hour window in order to prepare.

OPP offers the following advice in order to reduce electricity and avoid a mandatory reduction:

  • Shut off all unneeded office equipment and lights. Equipment should include computers, monitors, printers, copiers, coffee makers and task lighting.
  • Unplug iPod, digital camera and phone chargers when not in use.
  • Reduce water usage since water is pumped into Penn State’s storage tanks with electricity.
  • Use window blinds appropriately for cooling.
  • Keep exterior doors closed in air-conditioned buildings. Make sure operable windows also are closed.

In an attempt to avoid a reduction, OPP is allowing for the possibility of turning on a generator, to allow for an increased load on the campus grid. If this happens, there is the possibility of disruption to electrical devices not on an uninterrupted power supply.

Three Words: For the Glory

When I sat back one night in January thinking about my time at Penn State, I tried to come up with a single word that would adequately describe my experiences here. As I attempted to determine what that magic word might be, my mind began to grasp the absurdity of that challenge. How could I possibly distill four years of my life, countless friendships, and untold numbers of memories, down to a single word? An impossible task to be sure. So instead, I took the easier road and went with three words: For the Glory.
