a letter from the president...

As the air begins to cool, the leaves begin to blaze and the
thrill of football is in the air, my thoughts turn to “The Campus.” Walking
down the path to class with the creek bubbling, squirrels frolicking and ducks
drifting on the pond, my thoughts were generally on the next assignment, exam or
party. Today I recall the great adventure of education and of growing up in a
place where thinking , learning, understanding and maturing were skillfully
nurtured by my professors and all the staff on campus. The opportunities that
have come about in my life can always be traced back to something I received
while at Ivyside.
Today my gratitude for what I received while
here includes the question “How can I give back as thanks for what I was so
graciously given?” The Alumni Society is my means of sharing with my community,
my fellow alumni and today’s student who is walking down the same path (albeit
to sparkling new classrooms, dorms and dining hall). Through the Alumni Society
we gather together to provide service and to share our love of Penn State
Altoona. Please join us in celebrating and sharing our gratitude by becoming an
active mentor to the community of Penn State Altoona that has given us the
opportunity to say “We are…Penn State.”
For the glory ,
