Though the updated buildings won't be ready for students until 2017, Penn State will begin the East Halls renovation project this spring.

Obviously the most notable tidbit to come out of the meeting was President McDonald's claim that 32 of her 41 initiatives were started, in progress, or completed. Assuming she's relying on the fact the majority of those initiatives are only in the early stages, that could be true. Given the fact I can count on one hand the number of new initiatives that have been brought up at meetings, they still has a long way to go if they want to be able to call the tenth assembly a success.

With a stellar performance from both sides of the ball, Penn State was able to shut out Loyola Marymount, 3-0.

Sure it's not an average attendance of 107k, but fans are still flocking to Penn State sporting events.

The Harlem Globetrotters will return to the Bryce Jordan Center on March 23 to bring their "Fans Rule" Tour back to State College.
