Penn State Alumnus Is Bringing ‘STATE OF MIND’ Series To Penn State
A TV/webisode series hosted by Penn State alumnus Krishna Nadella aims to tackle stigmas, offer sound advice, and break down barriers to information for post-secondary students. The series, titled “STATE OF MIND,” is coming to Penn State to tape a season regarding topics particularly relevant to Penn State students, alumni, and others.
“‘STATE OF MIND’ explores the relevant social, economic, and political issues that are prominent at the post-secondary level of education,” said Nadella. “We’d love to hear from you and your state of mind.”
‘STATE OF MIND’ will be at Penn State on the evening of Friday, October 14 and the morning of Saturday, October 15. The tapings will take place at the Delta Chi Fraternity in front of a live audience. A pre-event will take place from 4-5 p.m. at Delta Chi to raise awareness of the show and allow students to take photos and offer their ‘State of Mind’.
Entering its third season, the critically-acclaimed program will be taping at multiple schools, including Penn State, where it will cover the following topics specifically:
- Life After College
- Maintaining Balance
- The Future of Greek Life
- Stress and Anxiety
- Spring Break
- Misogyny on Campus
- Sandusky: 5 Years Later
- Black Lives Matter
- Muslims in America
