From Synapses to Superposition
As we pursue the college's core missions, it is important to pause—especially when it is difficult—and remember what drives us to do this work. For me it is the jobs we create and the discoveries we make. And because our work ensures that the world will be a better place for future generations.

Creating connections through philanthropy

Even after my first week at Penn State, I already felt like I had found a home here. I am beyond excited to spend the next few years in such a welcoming community that fosters an environment of educational excellence and provides so many wonderful opportunities. This scholarship will help me take advantage of those opportunities.
