At 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, Penn State Abington Examines will present From the Red Carpet: Powerful Women in Hollywood featuring four Penn State alumnae who have forged successful careers behind the scenes in the news and entertainment industries.
Two Penn State Abington employees bought plane tickets and headed to Colorado earlier this month. But instead of hiking in the Rockies or exploring national parks, Michael Fry and Anthony Casselli spent their vacation shoveling mud from homes and businesses devastated by last month's thousand-year flood.
Penn State Abington added a twist to the formula for case competitions recently in favor of a design that provided a truly international business experience. Instead of the typical school-based division of teams, the 10 Abington students and the eight from Germany’s Hof University of the Applied Sciences were intermingled to form four teams.
Penn State Abington has received a grant through NASA to award eight $1,500 scholarships to students from populations underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. The scholarships require the selected students to perform three consecutive semesters of research under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
Six post-9/11 veterans have successfully translated their “failure is not an option” military mindset into a valuable new career path. They earned academic certificates in project management last week from Penn State Abington, the final step in completing a work-study initiative through a partnership between the college, Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS) and Prudential Financial.
