They reflect a tradition of giving that dates to the founding of the Farmers’ High School on donated land. They represent a culture of philanthropy that has been building through three comprehensive University-wide campaigns over four decades. And they illustrate how, over the course of the last six years, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students has inspired our alumni and friends with new excitement about what lies ahead for our institution. I am honored to report that as the campaign approaches its conclusion on June 30, 2014, the Penn State legacy of loyalty and support keeps growing. More than 193,000 donors—the largest number in our history—made gifts to the University in 2012–2013, and alumni giving rose by 23 percent over the preceding year.

  • SAMPLE Grantapplication 201
    SAMPLE Existence and Location of Originals: gathering and documenting archival repository location data We request $5000 to hire a paid research assistant for between 300-400 hours of work, overseen by Ben Goldman (grant PI) and Eira Tansey (grant collaborator). This project will identify, gather, standardize, and make publicly accessible United States archival repository location data. Our desire for improved location data grew out of an ongoing research project to identify which American archival repositories are most vulnerable to the future impacts of climate change. Working with geospatial specialists at Penn State, we are intersecting geolocation data harvested from OCLC’s ArchiveGrid with climate models for sea level rise, storm surge, temperature rise, and increased precipitation. Our initial findings, presented at the Society of American Archivists’ Research Forum in 20161 , found that 33 coastal repositories may be at risk of between one and six feet of sea level rise, a number we now believe to be inaccurately low due to insufficient repository location data. OCLC’s ArchiveGrid data appears to be the best available data on archival locations, but it has many shortcomings. We believe the data represents but a fraction of known archival repositories (excluding, for example, many small and community archives simply because they do not send their finding aids to ArchiveGrid). Quality assessment of the data has also revealed it to be imprecise or inaccurate for many repositories, and lacking information about physical locations (e.g. placement within a building, or coordinates of annex locations) that make assessing the impacts of climate change related weather events difficult to quantify.

  • Public Art: Call for Entries
    Public Art: Call for Entries An Outdoor Art Project “We Are” Sculpture The Pennsylvania State University PURPOSE Penn State’s 2013 Senior Class voted to commission a “We Are” sculpture on campus as its gift to the University. The sculpture will represent the University's iconic theme, "We Are," and these words should appear somewhere on the piece. Also, the words of the Penn State Alma Mater in the original handwriting of Fred Lewis Pattee will be incorporated into the piece. The words to the alma mater were written in April 1901 by Pattee, professor of American literature, and embody Penn State pride. The inscription on the sculpture will serve as a visual representation of what it truly means to be a Penn Stater, according to Morgan Delaware, overall chair of the Senior Class Gift Committee. "Class gifts go well beyond providing a tangible symbol of the loyalty and pride of a class; the class gift connects your class to every Penn State class before you," said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. "A 'We Are' sculpture enhanced with the words of the Penn State Alma Mater combines two of Penn State’s most cherished expressions of who we are ... It will certainly become a 'must see' landmark on campus." The tradition of class gifts began when the class of 1861, at its reunion in 1890, gave the University a portrait of Penn State’s first president, Evan Pugh, which still hangs in the lobby of Old Main. ELIGIBILITY This competition is open to all interested artists. Each artist may submit only one entry.

  • Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings
    Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings The Directory of Institutions is the first part of a continuation of the Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada, published in 1935 and 1937, and its 1962 Supplement.1 The present Directory details, when known, the current location of the collections listed in the original Census and Supplement, and identifies an additional 281 North American repositories of pre-1600 European manuscripts in Western languages that were not included in the earlier works. For all of the 475 North American repositories, this Directory provides updated contact data and general information on pre-1600 manuscript holdings. Detailed descriptions of individual manuscripts are outside the scope of this Directory, but bibliographical references to published catalogues and internet addresses giving access to on-line cataloguing records are provided when available. Following the organizational scheme of the original Census and Supplement, the Directory entries are organized alphabetically by State and City, with public collections listed first for each city, followed by private. (Due to privacy issues, modern private collections are not included). As in the original publications, the Canadian Provinces are found in a separate listing at the end of the directory. We would like to thank the hundreds of individuals who have contributed to this updated directory through their gathering and sharing of information regarding the whereabouts of pre- 1600 manuscripts in North American collections. To keep this information current, we ask that any updates or corrections be reported to us at [email protected].

In a changing world, we have reimagined and deepened our commitment to our land-grant mission, and Penn State is preparing our students for global citizenship and our nation and our communities for global success. Philanthropy has made this extraordinary transformation possible, and philanthropy will play a vital role in the next challenge that lies before us: renewing our shared sense of identity and purpose, restoring our belief—and the belief of the world—in the values that have made us great. By reaching the goals of For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, we will not only provide the University with critical resources; we will also be keeping faith with the thousands of students and families who continue to believe that Penn State represents opportunity, integrity, and excellence. Thank you for all that you have done to support the University through the best and worst of times, and thank you for being a part of our bright future. Sincerely, Rodney A.

Shaping the future. 1 From the Executive Director’s Desk Dear Friends, Here at Centre Foundation, we are truly “Building for the Future” and 2013 was a year that embodied that vision. We welcomed growth and transformation in our staff, our funds, our board, and our community! In December, I was honored to be named Executive Director upon the retirement of Al Jones. Earlier, we welcomed a new staff member, Irene Miller, in August. Jodi Pringle ended her very successful two- year term as board chair and has passed the gavel on to Amos Goodall.
