Compared to 30 days of radiation treatment, staying on her feet for 46 hours may feel like a walk in the park for Meghan Trahey. A civil engineering student and member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Trahey was diagnosed with medulloblastoma--pediatric brain cancer--in October 2008. After nearly three years in remission, she comes full circle as a dancer in the Penn State Interfraternal Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) this weekend.

'Indiana Jones'-inspired machine wins Penn State Rube Goldberg contest

3/1/10

Indiana Jones found a way to out run his competitors at this year's Penn State Rube Goldberg Machine Contest on Feb. 27 at the HUB's Alumni Hall. This year's contest challenged teams to build a complex machine that dispensed an appropriate amount of hand sanitizer into a hand. A machine must complete a minimum of 20 steps -- the wackier the better -- in less than two minutes. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) team and their Indiana Jones-inspired machine took first place at the competition.
