Chancellor to dish out late-night breakfast during study week

12/5/12

Late-night study sessions before finals week may have student brain synapses in a state of chaos, but at Penn State New Kensington student digestive systems will be in a state of serenity. Chancellor Kevin Snider, who oversees the feeding of student minds, has taken on the additional responsibility of feeding their stomachs.

Snider will personally serve the sustenance at the campus' first Moonlight Breakfast that opens its doors from 10 to 11 p.m. Dec. 12, in Cafe 780, the campus cafeteria. The chancellor, along with Lauren Blum, student life coordinator, will dish out free waffles, along with the accoutrements -- strawberries, blueberries, chocolate and whipped cream. Juice and coffee will be available to keep the students slaked and those neurons firing.
