Remembering Traditions

If there’s one thing we’re certain about in 2020, it’s that everything is uncertain. Just ask any corporate advertisement ever (watch this video for a laugh).  New announcements about fall at Penn State are coming out every day, and it seems like many of our favorite campus activities are being postponed, moved online, or even […]

Will You Snap Back from Social Distancing?
