    A MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR Photo by Kopicki Photography Dr. Susan Phillips Speece Saying Good-bye and Thank You en-and-a-half years … my gosh, where did they go? I vividly recall a grueling drive across the country, pulling up to my new home, and crashing on an inflatable mattress with a hole in it. It did not matter that the mattress T deflated during the night, I slept the sleep of one contentedly at home. For the past ten-and-a-half years, you have made Berks County my home. You have welcomed me, supported me, and even challenged me–all in the name of “Good Old State.” Over my tenure, we have been able to create a team of extremely competent professionals. You know the saying, “You are only as strong as the weakest link.” Well there are no weak links in the team here at Penn State Berks–just honed professionals who are also wonderful human beings. Together as a team we have been able to bring NCAA athletics to the college and community. We have doubled our baccalaureate offerings, and increased the number of faculty and the student enrollment by about 40 percent. The quality of our faculty’s research has reached new levels of excellence. With world-class leaders and a community- minded agenda, the faculty and staff at Penn State Berks have become invaluable assets to the greater community. Finally, after a nine-year effort, we are also seeing the completion of a classroom and laboratory building that will house the Business, Engineering, and Information Sciences and Technology division.

  • Marketing Positive Fan Behavior at the Pennsylvania State University
    Marketing Positive Fan Behavior at The Pennsylvania State University Presidential Leadership Academy Spring 2011 Researched, written and presented by: Sara Battikh, Angelo Cerimele, Sarah Dafilou, Bagas Dhanurendra, Sean Gillooly, Jared Marshall, Alyssa Wasserman and Sean Znachko I. Introduction The two questions that began the policy discussion were: who is this program made for and how can that information get to them? The Penn State fan base is made of a diverse group of people: from freshman to seniors, recent graduates to ―I’ve never missed a game in 60 years‖ alumni, from college friends visiting their peers, to parents visiting their children in addition to the fans of the visiting team. There are hundreds of thousands of sports fans that come to Penn State each weekend to support their teams. But are they supporting their team in the right way? Is making racial slurs towards a couple being a good Penn State fan? Is throwing beer cans at a visiting student from the other school being a good Penn State fan? In response to these incidents, fan behavior at Penn State needs to be addressed. This proposal comes in two parts. The first shows ways to promote what it means to be a good Penn State fans to the various audiences described above. The second part of the proposal is a marketing strategy for the text-a-tip program, a way to combat negative fan behavior that may occur at games. II. The Campaign to Promote Positive Fan Behavior The Slogan Improving fan behavior is an extremely broad topic; mostly due to the fact that Penn State's fan base is one of the largest in the world.
