Penn State Shenango is gearing up for its annual Upcycled Art Contest, which is held in conjunction with the campus’ Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 6. The contest is designed to inspire elementary and middle school students to create treasure from “trash.”
Penn State Shenango invites the community for a night of sculptures, ceramics, paintings, and drawings as the campus concludes its 2018-19 lecture series at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 14, in the Lecture Hall Art Gallery. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Songwriter and puppeter, Christopher Rowlands, performs at the 2016 Earth Fest. Rowlands will be back to entertain children and adults at Penn State Shenango's 2019 Earth Fest in April.
The Penn State Shenango Earth Fest, which has become a popular annual event in the Shenango Valley for adults and children of all ages, will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 6 at the campus' Great Hall and Atrium in downtown Sharon. The festival, which is free and open to the community, will include live music and entertainment, an educational presentation on sustainability by author/journalist Seamus McGraw, children’s activities, a local artists’ market, Penn State Berkey Creamery ice cream, and information from sustainability-minded local organizations and businesses.
Penn State Shenango Associate Teaching Professor Jennifer Jewell was awarded the professional designation of board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties of the American Physical Therapy Association.
