Movin' On

Sunday, April 29, 2012

The Movin’ On concert series was held last weekend and hundreds of students gathered in the fields by Beaver stadium for one last big event before moving on to the summer. The big acts were Young the Giant, Ludacris and The Avett Brothers. Students braved the brisk April temperatures and danced the night away.

Now we all move on to finals week and graduation. Good luck everyone.

Blue and White Weekend

Monday, April 23, 2012

Blue and White weekend turned out better than expected this year. The festivities kicked off on Friday with the carnival, including wing fest and a performance by the much loved band, Go Go Gadjet.  On Saturday the rain held off much longer than predicted, so everyone was able to enjoy the game and the tailgating.

Now, the countdown for football season begins.

Calves, Pigs and Sheep, Oh My

Monday, April 16, 2012

Last week the college of agricultural sciences hosted Ag Day. Located in Alumni Hall and on the Hub lawn, students were invited to see what agricultural science entails.

Different tables were set up, highlighting the many clubs and organizations within the college, and the students were encouraged to walk around and participate in educational activities. I got to pin the tail on the pony, plant a flower and match agricultural resources with the corresponding country. After completing three activities, I received a free cone of creamery ice-cream. 

Outside there were baby calves, pigs and sheep. It’s not every day you see farm animals on the Hub lawn.

Exploring the Millennium Science Complex

Monday, April 9, 2012

Sometimes we can get sucked in to our daily routine of traveling back and forth to class on the same routes every week. But with final weeks approaching, maybe it’s time to de-stress and take a walk to somewhere new. So if you're always stuck on west campus like me, try taking a trip over to the Millennium Science Complex on Pollock road and walk through the garden under the brilliant new architectural overhang. While you’re there, sit down and take a nice big breath.

The Red Hand Campaign is designed to draw attention to child soldiers. Last week, there was poster in the HUB, to bring additional attention to the campaign. Astonishingly, UNICEF has estimated that nearly 300,000 children under 18 are currently forced into armed conflict. Want more information? Visit the Red Hand Campaign's website to see what you can do to contribute.

Spring has Sprung in Happy Valley

Monday, March 26, 2012

Campus has come alive in the past few weeks due to the abnormally warm weather, and that has definitely been a treat for Penn Staters. Much earlier than normal, the flowers are blooming, the sun tanners are lounging, the frisbees are flying and the ice cream is abundant.

Happy Spring everyone, don’t waste a minute of this gorgeous weather.
