Heard on Campus: Linda Patterson Miller at Penn State Laureate Jubilee

“We’re honored to have gathered here all the laureates to-date and also the laureate-to-be, Chris Staley. We take special pride in Penn State’s commitment to the laureate program and to its recognition that the arts and humanities matter. We come here today to celebrate artistic collaboration and the great art that such collaboration generates. Art that reveals to us, ourselves and renders life true.”
