New Kensington

State of the University Address is Sept. 13

Penn State President Graham B. Spanier will deliver his annual State-of-the-University Address at 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, in Eisenhower Auditorium on the University Park campus. The event will be broadcast to all Penn State campuses. Alumni and friends are invited to the live broadcast at Penn State New Kensington's Conference Center. Light refreshments will be served. The event should conclude by 4 p.m. The president's remarks this year will focus on Penn State as a student-centered university. He will touch briefly on our successes and the challenges that are ahead, and will explore what it means to be more student-focused in all areas. His talk will define the changing student body and the needs of those students, as well as the fundamental role of faculty and staff. Spanier hopes this address begins a yearlong dialogue on the imperative for Penn State to become more student-centered and on the need for every member of our University community to participate fully in the life of Penn State.
