Penn State Shenango alumnus Bill Casey made a $100,000 gift to endow the Casey Miller Bridge to Success Fund in Memory of Thomas A. Casey, Donald K. Miller, Gary R. Miller and Janet Miller Casey. Casey’s gift provides emergency support for students with unforeseen financial difficulties while commemorating late family members who also attended Penn State.
Students painted encouragement for their peers to embrace their unique selves and to focus on positive qualities at the "YOUnique" booth. The rocks are hidden around campus for students to find.
Empowering students to spot concerns and having tools to help a friend in need was integrated into a golf putting game at the "9 out of 10" booth to help spotlight the importance of suicide awareness.
Students discovered the responsibilities and challenges in the lives of both civilians and military personnel, represented by ping pong balls at the "at ease" booth. As students discover, it is not ease to all the responsibilities "covered."
