Students from the Convergent Media Seminar class at Penn State Altoona have advanced the communication program's mission to work with the local community by teaming up with the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society. As their final project for the class, seniors Megan Riner, Samantha Fulare, and Adrian Shawley produced media content for the Humane Society's Web site. The trio created three one-minute videos showcasing the facility and animals to help garner support and more membership for the Society, as well as help animals sheltered there find loving homes.

The Penn State Altoona communications program has produced content for a variety of local non-profit organizations in the past including the United Way of Blair County, the Altoona Public Library, The Hollidaysburg Area YMCA, and Operation Our Town.
