As Penn State’s 2018-19 academic year begins at all 24 locations, scattered across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the University's campuses continue to grow and change and this year is no different. Some locations have experienced growth in the form of new infrastructure, other campuses have new leadership at the helm; and still other locations have new academic programs and degrees to offer students. The University’s impact in many Pennsylvania communities is apparent, as campuses join with local municipalities to set up innovation hubs on campus and within the community, acting as catalysts for economic growth.
