A Message From President Erickson

Taking a page straight out of his predecessor G-Span’s book of tricks, President Erickson left us this semester with a cheesy-yet-satisfying Penn State-style video message. Nestled in every Penn Stater’s inbox this morning, the video came with this message:

“This spring, we continue to celebrate the achievements of our students, faculty, and staff in academics, research, service, and athletics. Enjoy this brief video, which shows a few of the many ways that Penn Staters are making a difference in the world. Congratulations to our new graduates, and thank you for being a part of Penn State.”

Enjoy the rife stereotypes, ill-placed music, epic camera pan outs, and obligatory Commonwealth campus shoutout in the seasonal video:

Penn State’s first president Evan Pugh was born in 1828 at Jordan Bank Farm, three miles south of the city center of Oxford, Pennsylvania, an hour west of Philadelphia in Chester County.
