"In My America" is a multimedia project that involved the entire campus community through poetry, dance, and film. The project began with a poem coordinated by Professor Erin Murphy developed from individual lines written by members of the Penn State Altoona community. A film, created by Assistant Teaching Professor Naomi Baker, brought the poem to life featuring campus community members reciting lines from the original poem.
The Lost Bird Project - a visiting sculpture installation of five extinct North American birds - can be found at Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, locations on the Penn State University Park and Altoona campuses, and the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center in State College.
