INVESTED IN STUDENT SUCCESS
And the way I best describe Penn State is its just aphenomenal collegiate experience for the student. Itsvery student-centered, very activity-oriented, and yet very,very high academics. So its a great combination of social,collegial, athletic, and academics that is all integrated.

This degree points out the whole purpose of what PennState was created for. Not solely to confirm a very
formal academic degree, but also for students to
develop and define themselves and grow. And I thinkPenn State does an exceptional job.

The sadness that we all felt, andthe heartbreak, was really hard.
There needs to be arebalancing in the wake ofthe debacle and tragedy.

I think the biggest misperception isthat were all about football formany years, people confused what Iwould again call the mystique of PennState with the substance of Penn
State people should know that PennState is a first-rate educationalinstitution thats devoted to theeducation of students to research,to economic development and thatfootball is an important part of ourcommunity, but isnt what defines us.

PERCEPTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITYWEAKER THAN MANY BELIEVE
There is anassumption that
everybody in theworld knows aboutPenn State, and howgreat Penn State is,and theres also anassumption here that
were actually betterthan we are.

I think you have to overcome sort of aninternal gravitational pull to not look beyondour own narrow vision to understand thatnationally, or even regionally, there is muchless appreciation for whats really good herethan there should be. Right now, thats alleclipsed by everybody knowing whatswrong here, or has been wrong.
