A New Semester


This picture was taken by Senior Coordinator Tracy Shadowens when she interviewed at Penn State in May 2006. Tracy will be leaving Penn State at the end of the semester. She is looking forward to making the most of her last days at PSU and can't wait until the campus is beautiful and green like this picture again.

As a new semester gets underway, CA Danielle Scalise shares some thoughts about her first semester at University Park.

"I look at the calendar now and I am truly amazed at just how quick this past semester has gone for me. Upon transferring to University Park this August, I was unsure of what was to come in the future. Well, I absolutely love it here! Every aspect of this campus has fulfilled my wishes. The campus itself is so pretty and I enjoy the mile walk to class every day. I love seeing such large crowds of people no matter where I go. I love stepping off campus and knowing we have a downtown! There is always something to do or go see no matter what time of day. This campus is alive and fun. The only regret is that I did not start my college career here. I will never regret my time spent at Penn State Behrend, but wish there was more time to have here at University Park. This first semester of classes have been fun since I am an elementary education major. I have realized once again that group work is a great thing, but eventually it does get old. Anyways, I love this campus and definitely continuing my position in Residence Life has been a great decision. I have made new friends in many different areas and enjoy these new friendships."

What are some plans you have for the upcoming semester?
