The beloved associate dean of the Schreyer Honors College, Dr. Ozment, will be resigning from her post at the end of the semester, after seven years of service. Students and faculty alike are upset and worried by the news, questioning if the replacement of Doc Oz (as she is affectionately known) will be able to fill her shoes.
But Dr. Oz is handling it with the class and optimism those around her would expect from such a lady, saying, "Some people are panicking, and I don't think they need to panic...I have a lot of hope for who follows me in this role. Change is difficult, and when you get used to someone being there, it troubles people."
There has been little explanation surrounding Dr.Ozment’s leave. Read on to find out what the future has in store for her and Penn State.

I don’t know if you guys have heard of this movement on campus to get tree swings put up but it sounds awesome.
The idea came to Samuel Borchers and Stephanie Herbstritt after swinging around on one at a local college by Sam’s home town. Initially, the two planned on buying the materials themselves and having friends help them install the swings under the cover of night, but eventually they decided they wanted the swings to stay hung once they were up, so the duo took their plan public.
