In support of mental health wellness and suicide prevention, Penn State Shenango hosted the second annual Fresh Check Day for students on Nov. 17. The event was comprised of seven interactive booths.
Penn State celebrated the accomplishments of graduates during its spring 2021 commencement ceremonies May 7 through May 9. This spring the University awarded approximately 14,400 diplomas to students University-wide who are completing associate, baccalaureate, master, law, doctoral and medical degrees. All figures listed are estimates as of April 5; totals do not include the Pennsylvania College of Technology.
On Saturday, May 8 the Penn State Shenango class of 2021 celebrated Commencement at a small ceremony with loved ones. Remarks were shared by Campus Director Jo Anne Carrick, Faculty Marshal Angela Pettit, student speaker Donovan Verges, Registrar Matthew Goral, and Penn State Shenango Alumni Society President Carl Sizer III.
Last month students participated in our week-long Fresh Check Day event! Each day a new interactive booth was added that promotes mental health check-ins. Topics included learning how to help a struggling friend, the benefits of volunteering, artistic expression and inspiration.
Campus Director Jo Anne Carrick was joined by students and administration to mask up the Nittany Lion Shrine in support of Penn State's "Mask Up or Pack Up" campaign. In addition to Shenango's newest mask, Penn State's School of Theatre created custom masks for several lion shrines across the state.
