Hospitality management students rise to the occasion for ‘Raise a Glass' event

2/8/19

As part of their class curriculum, students in the School of Hospitality Management (SHM) hosted “Raise a Glass for Good” last semester, an event to benefit the Centre County United Way. Each year, students enrolled in the course, Advanced Meeting and Event Management, collaborate with a local organization to plan, promote, implement and evaluate a special event. The idea is to provide future event-management professionals the opportunity to gain hands-on experience.

United Way, Mid-State Literacy Council create ‘happier, healthier lives’

1/21/19

“Here at Mid-State, I believe that the students leave with knowledge and skills that will help them for the rest of their life. I think they also leave with the sense of belonging to a place, a sense of community with others who are going through the same experience. That’s really valuable.”

Why we give: Two lifelong Penn Staters on why they support the United Way

1/14/19

“It matters, when you’re in a community, to be part of that community, and this is a tangible way. If you live in Centre County and you don’t know exactly what you want to do, but you want to be in a better community, you can be part of that. Between the network of partner agencies and the volunteers that drive the United Way, you should give to the United Way because that network works.”

Support Centre County through the Penn State United Way Campaign

10/29/18

What we find so compelling about the Centre County United Way is their focus on education, financial stability and health. They understand that we are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable and when we all enjoy an overall sense of health. However, that is not all … the money we donate stays in Centre County and is invested in proven programs that benefit the greater good.

Football fans tackle recycling at Penn State

10/7/11

It's often said that on game day, Penn State's Beaver Stadium becomes the third-largest "city" in Pennsylvania. Each home football game attracts more than 200,000 tailgaters, spread across 110 acres of University fields, generating 50 to 100 tons of waste. Instead of sending all that waste to local landfills after every home game, Penn State encourages fans to recycle. By strategically placing more than 290 recycling carts throughout tailgating areas and recycling more than 85 tons of waste each football season, Penn State also raises money for the Centre County United Way.
