Congratulations are in order to Penn State's Smeal College of Business, whose MBA program was recently ranked 15th in ethics out of 82 schools as part of Businessweek's Best B-School's Rankings. If the rankings are to be believed, Penn State is more ethical than MBA powerhouses such as Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, Harvard Business School, Penn's Wharton School and Stanford Graduate School of Business.
A special committee from the Faculty Senate issued a document outlining numerous recommendations for reform in the structure of the Penn State Board of Trustees.
Penn State Board of Trustees chairman Keith Masser is one of the few members of our university's governing body with a Twitter account (@paspuds) -- although it hasn't been very active lately. In fact, Masser has been the opposite of active, with his tweet count going from a total of seven tweets to two tweets over recent weeks.
As Penn Staters, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by beautiful architecture and landscapes every day. And although most of us are rocking long-johns, boots, and four winter jackets, we can all appreciate how incredible this campus looks both during and after a snowstorm. Apparently, BuzzFeed can as well.
From March 18-23, the College of Information Sciences and Technology will be hosting the second annual #ISTStartup Week. The event is designed to showcase various entrepreneurial talent from across the country, among them Penn State alumni such as Weebly co-founder David Rusenko (Class of '07; @drusenko) and Sincerely co-founder Matt Brezina (Class of '03; @brezina).
History was made Monday, February 18 as a new Nittany Lion mascot was chosen to represent Penn State for the next two years.
