Indiana Saturday

They start by making a ton of mistakes – mostly on offense – to encourage the home fans and boost the confidence of an underdog opponent. They drop behind in the score to instill doubt in their own fans. But eventually they make a spectacular play to take the lead. Then they hang on at the end to save a game that almost got away. As they approach the midpoint of the season, the Lions return to Beaver Stadium for a two-game home stand against Iowa and Purdue with a 4-1 record, after opening their 19th Big Ten campaign with a 16-10 victory at Indiana Saturday. Joe Paterno, the dean of college coaches, captured his 100th victory all-time against a Big Ten opponent and his 405th overall, as Penn State raised to 10-3 its mark in Big Ten road games since 2007.

Penn State Commission for Adult Learners
Commission for Adult Learners Annual Report for 2006-2007 The 2006-2007 year for the Commission was one of change and many accomplishments. This annual report will recap the Commission’s activities, goals and outcomes. First, we’d like to express our appreciation to the four sponsors of the Commission, Vice Presidents Pangborn, Romano, Triponey and Weidemann for their financial support, advice, and personal commitment to the Commission and adult learners. We could not make a difference for adult learners without their support. For the past eight years, the Commission has benefited and enjoyed the professional support provided by the Center for Adult Learner Services, a unit of the Division of Student Affairs. The consistency and quality of this support, under the leadership of Dr. Charlene Harrison, has been instrumental in the accomplishments and stability of the Commission. Therefore, when the Center for Adult Learner Services was assigned to the Outreach Division, there was some concern by the Commission in two areas: the level of support the Commission would receive and the interpretation by the general university community that adults are only the concern of Outreach and Continuing Education. Both concerns were put to rest because of the support and commitment from Dr. Weidemann. In February 2005, the Commission for Adult Learners distributed its position paper addressing several key issues and recommendations relative to adult learners at Penn State. The number one recommendation was for the appointment of an “advocate” for adult learners. With the 2005 University Reorganization Plan, Dr. Craig Weidemann was named the “Advocate” for adult learners at Penn State.

2021-22 Proposed Operating Budget with Corresponding Tuition and Fees Schedules, Is Approved
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES JULY 15, 2021 PROPOSED 2021-22 OPERATING BUDGET WITH CORRESPONDING TUITION AND FEES SCHEDULES AGENDA ITEM 3.D THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY 2021-22 OPERATING BUDGET TABLE OF CONTENTS TAB A OPERATING BUDGET SUMMARY TAB B ACADEMIC SALARY INFORMATION TAB C TUITION COMPARISONS TAB D 2021-22 OPERATING BUDGET AND CORRESPONDING TUITION AND MANDATORY FEES SCHEDULES - EFFECTIVE FALL SEMESTER 2021 TAB A 2021-22 OPERATING BUDGET THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY 2021-22 OPERATING BUDGET The Board of Trustees will be asked to consider and approve Penn State’s operating budget on July 15, 2021. SUMMARY OF THE BUDGET PLAN In building the proposed 2021-22 Operating Budget, Penn State has placed the highest priority on keeping tuition affordable while continuing to provide a high-quality educational experience to students. The budget plan approved by the Board of Trustees as part of Penn State’s 2021-22 Appropriation Request reflected the university’s goal to maintain affordability and would have included a modest increase in the Pennsylvania Resident Undergraduate tuition rates to fund the 2019-2023 capital plan. The requested General Support appropriation increase was 3.0%, or $7.3 million. When Governor Wolf presented his 2021-22 Executive Budget in February 2021, his recommendation was that Penn State’s General Support appropriation be held flat with the 2020-21 level. Penn State’s 2021-22 state appropriation, including level funding, was passed by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor in June. As the Commonwealth reviewed the state budget, Penn State’s planning efforts focused on modeling scenarios assessing the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the university’s budget.

Football at Penn State
A COMMUNITY IN A COW PASTURE: FOOTBALL AT PENN STATE Benjamin Paul Phillips A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2009 Committee: Marilyn Motz, Advisor Esther Clinton ii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor In this thesis, Benjamin Phillips explored how community is created around Penn State football. Phillips explored why an event like a Penn State football game inspires thousands of people to unite around it and turn a sixty minute game played by twenty-odd young athletes (with whom the fans have little to no contact) into a multiple day celebration of community. For those who choose to define themselves in part by their sports allegiance, it is Phillips’ contention that they exhibit the characteristics of the imagined community described by Benedict Anderson in Imagined Communities, expanding the discourse beyond natural identities and communities. Because of the perceived ubiquity and normalcy of sports, Penn State football provides an excellent site for the exploration of created identities and communities. This thesis provides an academic look at the cultural significance of the community created through Penn State fandom and the broader implications of a community created around sports. The research was specifically centered on Phillips’ interviews with fans of Penn State football about stadium atmosphere, music, and tailgating. The actual game is not the only aspect which inspires fandom and pride within post-millennial college football. Instead, team histories, nostalgia, stadiums, stadium traditions, fan activities, songs, cheers, and geography all play a role in creating “football experiences.” The first chapter of the thesis focused on the postmodern bricolage of media and genres used in stadium videos and cheers that work to create feelings of belonging and community.
