As Penn State 杜波依斯 has adjusted to remote learning, faculty and staff have remained equally committed to the mission of helping students apply their education to launch rewarding careers. 最近, a Virtual Career Fair was held, affording students the opportunity to gain experience in interviewing for jobs and in presenting themselves in a professional setting.
这学期, students in the Human 发展 and Family Studies (HDFS) program teamed up with local nonprofit, 起点, to address the rising concern of the opioid epidemic in the region and how it is changing the shape of families.
Director of 学生事务 Rebecca Pennington has received the inaugural Penn State 杜波依斯 工作人员 of the Year Excellence Award. The award is extended to a staff member who goes above and beyond their normally assigned job responsibilities in resolving a particularly difficult dilemma, being exceptionally creative, or being responsive to others.
The Penn State 杜波依斯 Student Government Association (SGA) has announced award winners for the 2019-20 academic year. The SGA 奖 Banquet originally scheduled for May 1 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but student leaders still wish to recognize award winners for their success in serving the campus and their community.
下午两点.m. on Saturday, May 9, Penn State will host its first virtual 毕业典礼. The ceremony will be livestreamed, and available internationally, at http://spring2020.commencement.eagle1027.com/.
