Board of Trustees Candidates Announced
Earlier this afternoon, the 86 candidates running for the three alumni seats up for election on the Penn State Board of Trustees were publicly announced. There has been a large interest in the BOT this year — only six candidates ran for the alumni seats last election — as the board has been heavily scrutinized over the last several months.
