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.
Penn State Abington boasts a wide range of initiatives and programming aimed at providing veterans with the skills for success. The college's renewed designation as a Military Friendly School enhances its ongoing efforts.
