UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics will continue its series of town hall meetings with an event at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, in 101 Thomas Building for faculty and staff.
The Intercollegiate Athletics town halls are designed to give members of the Penn State and local communities an opportunity to hear about some of the findings of Intercollegiate Athletics' strategic planning process.
Thursday's event is the second in a trio of public town hall meetings with Director of Athletics Sandy Barbour and members of the Intercollegiate Athletics leadership team to visit with Penn State students, faculty and staff and members of the local community.
Attendees will hear about some of the initial findings of a wide-ranging strategic planning project and have the opportunity to ask questions. The project will help determine strategies and priorities for 2016 to 2020 and beyond for the Nittany Lions' comprehensive 31-sport program.
Penn State has engaged a variety of constituencies during the strategic planning process, with more than 1,000 individuals providing feedback.
A town hall on Oct. 19 in the HUB Auditorium was geared specifically to students.
A final town hall at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, is set for alumni and the public.
All bags are subject to search per Intercollegiate Athletics' bag policy and no backpacks are permitted.
