For 40 years, Penn State Wilkes-Barre has hosted thousands of community members for events put on by Arts at Hayfield, a nonprofit organization that supports the arts in the community and on campus. That tradition continues with the 38th annual Summer Arts Festival from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18, featuring more than 120 artisans, performers, crafters and food vendors.
Penn State Wilkes-Barre will host Spend a Summer Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 7. The event is an open house where interested students can visit the campus and learn about the opportunities available to them close to home.
As a Penn State Wilkes-Barre business major, you’ll engage in internships where you’ll gain real-world experience by being immersed in day-to-day business operations.

Photo submitted by Marie Muñiz, a graduate student studying entomology in the College of Agricultural Sciences. Maria's submitted caption reads: "Did you know that bees are excellent associative learners? Bumble bees, for example, can learn to link other bees visiting flowers with whether those flowers have food or not. What a bee learns through these associations depends on its previous experiences with the environment. Captured in the Pollinator Gardens at the Penn State Arboretum, this photo shows a bee and a butterfly visiting the same flower for food. While it's known that bumble bees can learn from other bees, there are many diverse insects that visit flowers who may also provide valuable information about food! Next time you see bees in a foraging frenzy, know there are methods to their madness!"
