The Penn State Nittany Lion made an appearance at Penn State Altoona's annual Agriculture Awareness Day held April 20 on campus. There was a small petting zoo, camel rides, games, information tables, and Creamery ice cream for students, faculty, staff, and community members.
The Integrative Studies Seed Grant Program, offered through the Penn State Office for General Education, will support 71 different course development projects this summer. In response to the large volume of highly qualified proposals, the budget was generously increased by more than 50 percent by the Office of the Provost and the Office of Undergraduate Education.
