Who We Are

Members of our staff have expertise in a variety of areas focused on supporting students at Penn State - counseling, clinical psychology, medicine, pharmacology, student learning, student organizations and communities, leadership, service learning, diversity, social justice and legal issues in higher education.

We believe there is a close connection between critical learning that takes place in out-of-class settings and the more formal classroom learning that students receive through Penn State's general education curriculum. Problem solving, teamwork, leadership, interpersonal skills, strong verbal and written communication and appreciation for diversity are just a few of the important educational outcomes that we strive to provide for students. We encourage students to become fully engaged in educational opportunities - to participate in academic clubs, volunteer for community service, and attend lectures, music performances, theatre and museums.

Faculty members are encouraged to serve as an advisor for one of the more than 600 registered student organizations, fraternities and sororities at Penn State. See the index of student organizations.
