Welcome to the best weekend of the summer, everyone. In our excitement for Arts Fest, we got to thinking: Among Penn State's many great weekends, which is its best?
A 21-year old Penn State student was struck by a vehicle on Blue Course Drive at 5:06 a.m. and flown to U.P.M.C. Altoona Hospital with life-threatening issues, according to a press release from Ferguson Township Police.
The Board of Trustees met at Penn State Schuylkill today, where it approved a tuition increase, budget, and new officers.
Trustee Al Lord proposed a resolution at the end of today's Board of Trustees meeting at Penn State Schuylkill that the Board of Trustees should "finish" the investigation conducted by Louis Freeh. The board will vote on the resolution after executive discussion during its September meeting scheduled for Sept. 18-19.
In President Eric Barron's his first official address to the board, he used a graph-heavy powerpoint to explain his outlook on fixing student accountability and debt in an informative, professor-like manner that took about 40 minutes.
Penn State football players keep seeing their names on preseason watch lists, with Jordan Lucas being named to his second this week.
Lucas has been named to the Jim Thorpe Award watch list, which honors the best defensive back in the nation. Last season, Lucas was tied for third in the Big Ten with 16 passes defended, leading the team with 45 solo tackles. He was also tied for the team lead with three interceptions, cementing himself as one of the stalwarts of the Nittany Lions' defense.
