Penn State men's volleyball season couldn't have gotten off to a worse start. The Nittany Lions (now 13-9, 7-0) went winless in the season-opening Outrigger Invitational held in Hawaii, and came back to the mainland to face a brutal stretch of games, including matches against two of the top teams in the country -- Loyola Chicago and Lewis -- on back-to-back nights. Things didn't look too promising, but that all changed after it won decisively on the road against Sacred Heart on Feb. 27.
After a breakout season that saw the part-time defensive end turn into a first team All-Big Ten selection, Zettel received attention among NFL circles as a likely draft pick.

Charles Schwab and Andrew Carnegie were much more than rivals or industry colleagues; they were friends. They knew one another for over forty years, up until Carnegie’s death in 1919.

Neha Gupta, the 2014 International Children’s Peace Prize winner, is taking her good deeds to Penn State.

To date, Empower Orphans has raised $1.7 million and helped 25,000 children.
