Penn State Wilkes-Barre celebrated its graduates with an online event that included messages from Chancellor Dr. Dale Jones, Associate Chief Academic Officer and Associate Professor of English Lynda Goldstein, valedictorian Jesse Steltz, Advisory Board Chair Rebecca Bartuska and Penn State Wilkes-Barre Alumni Society President Jonathan Sinclair. It also featured video congratulations from Penn State Wilkes-Barre faculty and staff.
Penn State Wilkes-Barre alumnus Ric Struthers and his wife, Sharon, have made a commitment to the campus to help students who may be struggling with challenges related to coronavirus and related shutdowns. The couple, who live in Wilmington, Delaware, are also encouraging other friends of Penn State Wilkes-Barre to join them in supporting this effort through a matching challenge.
On May 13, students at Commonwealth Campuses will be able to select their individual Penn State Go Commonwealth Campus Experience by clicking on the Change App Experience button in the app. Selecting the Campus Experience will allow students to receive important messages and updates to stay connected to what is happening at individual Commonwealth Campuses.
