Investing in climate education and research pays back huge dividends for our community - and our world. Former Penn State Professor Kristina Douglass just won a 2025 MacArthur Fellowship, a.k.a. a "genius grant." 🧠 www.macfound.org/fellows/clas...

A better university is possible when we demand it. ✊ Over twenty thousand Penn Staters signed an online petition. Thousands more publicly commented, emailed, and called. Organizing works. www.psucollegian.com/news/adminis...

Significant increases for high-level executives during a budget crisis, campus closures, and cuts to public services sends the wrong message. Notably this enthusiasm for so-called fair compensation vanishes when it comes to the workers who keep Penn State running.

The decision to "wind down" WPSU gives more power to federal officials who spurn truth, science, and our public institutions. Bad for our community and terribly self-destructive.

Congratulations 🌟 Uma Moriarity! 🌟 Uma - an investment strategist and sustainability advocate who has spent her career building the business case for sustainable capital allocation - will join Penn State's Board on July 1, 2025, for a three-year term.
