Little did she know, as a curious, over-achieving seventh grader participating in Penn State Brandywine's Math Options Career Day program, that one day, more than a decade later, she would be on the other side of the desk as a professor teaching similar concepts to a bright group of seventh grade girls attending the same program on Friday, May 21.
Funnier still, Jennifer Zosh, assistant professor of health and human development at the campus and an Upland resident, taught in the very same room in the Main Building that she sat in as a student attending the p
Penn State Brandywine raised more than $15,000 for student scholarships and honored outstanding alumni Sylvia Schaffer and Pennsylvania State Representative Thomas Killion at its third annual Alumni Recognition Event on May 22 at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park.
The event also launched the campus' official kick-off for the University-wide capital campaign: For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, which aims to secure $2 billion by 2010 to provide an outstanding education to students from every economic backgroun
Three Penn State Brandywine faculty members have received Individual Faculty Grants from the University's Institute for the Arts and Humanities (IAH), which helps to fund the research and creative projects of individual faculty members in and across the arts and humanities at Penn State.
Four Penn State Brandywine students "took care of business" at the State Leadership Conference in Harrisburg on April 10, 2010.
The students participated in three events and placed in two. Seniors David Vesely and Robert Bagonis and junior Richard Cook entered the financial services competition as a team and placed first.
Under the guidance of Assistant Professor of Psychology Daniela Martin, two Penn State Brandywine students traveled to the Big Apple for an experience unlike any they could find in a classroom.
On March 6, Martin escorted senior Ryan Smith and junior Sauda Anima, who transferred to University Park this semester, to the Eastern Psychological Association Convention in Brooklyn, N.Y. to present research to their peers and professionals in the discipline of psychology.
Penn State Brandywine sophomore Sara Neville was selected as one of 60 undergraduates from across the nation and across all disciplines to present her research to senators, representatives, their staffers and representatives from funding agencies as part of the Council on Undergraduate Research's annual Posters on the Hill event on April 13 in Washington, D.C.
All it took was a few sets of elaborate arms, wheels, gears, handles, cups, rods, balls, boots, cages, bathtubs and a base gel and alcohol mixture and voila! The Penn State Brandywine Engineering Club had a mouse-trap-like contraption that dispensed hand sanitizer all on its own.
It was this over-engineered apparatus that won the club third place in the 2010 Rube Goldberg competition held at University Park.
