Information was released by the Athletic Department regarding how to buy tickets for the 2010 football season. This year, season tickets will cost students $218.
The process is not extremely challenging, but missing any step in the process would mean spending much more money to buy either season tickets or individual tickets to each game. Read on for the full breakdown.
Since November 2008, Onward State has quickly become the go-to source for information about the topics students, faculty, staff, and alumni find relevant. This year alone, we have been featured on Mashable.com, the Chronicle of Higher Education, College Media Matters, and the Huffington Post, among others.
For the Fall 2010 semester, we are looking to expand our staff significantly. Read on for more details, or just submit an application.
Onward State is happy to announce that it will be hosting a spring tweet up on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 pm somewhere on the Penn State campus. The weather is forecast to be in the mid 60s. An exact location will be announced soon-- we're trying to figure out the best spot to hold it.
The tweet up is not just an opportunity to see your favorite writers and editors though. You'll also get an early taste of State College's newest culinary trend: cupcakes. Sugar on Top will be providing four different flavors of cupcakes for the event, including their "soon-to-be-famous" pancake and bacon variety.
Watch @OnwardState and @SugarOnTopSC for more information about the tweet up.
AT&T is sponsoring a pretty cool competition in which entrants can win $10,000 cash in scholarship money for creating a mobile device application. Teams of up to four people can enter a custom-built application for the purpose of e-learning. The rules state that the "innovating e-learning mobile app" should be functional across multiple platforms. Submissions are due by September 15, 2010 and so far there are only ten teams signed up. So my question for you is:
You're writing the dreaded "personal statement" essay on a grad school application, and somebody's said what you are trying to in a much more eloquent way. You're tired from the application process and you're heavily considering secretly borrowing a paragraph or two from this article or that essay.
Well, if you were applying for the M.B.A. program at Penn State, you'd get yourself busted for plagiarism. There's a new service called Turnitin.com that checks students' essays against previously published material, and it shows if the work's not your own.

The THON 2010 Line Dance wasn't the only non-football activity that took place on the field during the Blue-White game on Saturday. The Homecoming Executive Committee also revealed the logo for Homecoming 2010.
Public Relations Director Caitlin Rush said that the committee chose the winning logo, designed by junior Veronica Clauss, because they "wanted a design that was unique to homecoming, that people could look at and know it was homecoming's logo. We were looking for something that was clean, sharp, and professional. A lot of the designs fell into that category, but the one we chose was definitely a favorite from the start."
