But, most who call this place home think State College is the perfect size. On and off campus, State College and surrounding areas offer a wide range of restaurants, live music, theatrical performances, sporting events, as well as shopping in our thriving downtown business district and throughout the Centre Region. State College is nestled in the Nittany Valley, offering an abundance of natural resources, which provide ample opportunities to bike, hike, fish, swim, and explore the great outdoors. State College takes pride in being recognized as a safe and welcoming place. Students comprise a large percentage of the community, and Penn State graduates frequently stay and build their lives here – we hope you will consider doing the same. The knowledge and experiences students gain through their studies at Penn State contribute to keeping State College a vibrant and innovative community. State College Borough and its citizens benefit from student involvement in local non- profits and Penn State organizations, helping our community respond better to current needs and improve the quality of life in State College. You are now a citizen of State College and I encourage you to get involved, know your neighbors, and, most importantly, to feel at home. This is a perfect place to try on new ideas and new roles that build upon the connections that bring us together. As your Mayor, I welcome your questions and comments. Each week during the academic year, I hold on-campus office hours at the HUB-Robeson Center to make it easy for students to contact me, present ideas, suggest changes, and find ways to work together. I hope we have a chance to meet while you call State College home.

Beginning with the appearance of the first yearbook, put together by the pioneer class during their junior year in 1870 and followed by publication of the first, short-lived newspaper, The College Monthly in 1887, students have been responsible for dozens of publications from literature to humor to a range of politically- and socially-oriented periodicals. This series consists of the collected student publications from Massachusetts Agricultural College (1867-1931), Massachusetts State College (1931-1947), and the University of Massachusetts (1947-2007), including student newspapers, magazines, newsletters, inserts, yearbooks, and songbooks.
