The CEAE is headed by an Associate Provost with academic oversight in the Academic Affairs division of the College rather than Student Affairs. This model includes four full-time Career Advisors in four clusters that include Arts and Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social Sciences, and Business related disciplines. Grab some coffee and pastries and join us in the ballroom to learn how career clustering can improve your service delivery and increase collaboration between college stakeholders! Sponsors/Exhibitors CareerSpots is a Pennsylvania-based company that specializes in creating and producing original video content via the internet and other emerging technologies. Our dedicated team of highly experienced video producers, photographers, writers, researchers and career advisors creates “short stories” that people can relate to and find invaluable in their job searches. Our virtual library of 600+ short, high quality videos includes 56 videos on “how to” find a job, 24 videos on “how to” land internships/co-ops, and 550 videos on careers (occupations). Our videos feature expert advice from professionals at 50+ global companies and can be used EVERYWHERE (social media, websites, job boards, emails & more). Eventus was founded in late 2013 in Austin, TX by four guys on a mission. Their mission was broad but simple - create event apps that left good impressions on attendees with measurable ROI to event planners. Today, Eventus powers over 100 customer projects internationally, including career fairs in the United States, conferences in Australia, and hack conventions in Israel. The event app was never about making an app for the sake of making an app. It was a means to a more meaningful end - what better way to give event planners a direct outlet to attendees. Though our platform is now mature, we continue to look to expand our offering by asking questions that tie directly back to event planner ROI. CampusTap understands students and knows that software in higher education has been lacking in design and innovation. We are raising the bar in these categories to provide students, faculty and administrators with great user experiences. By providing students with an intuitive and engaging platform we can provide administrators insights into student trends to help optimize the college experience. PAGE 6 PENNACE Presentation Descriptions MAY 23-25, 2017 Keynote: "Embracing a Philosophy of Positivity, Perseverance, and Peace" Dr. Tammy Manko, Director of IUP Career & Professional Development Center and Owner of MeaningfulLife LLC Are you tired of the seemingly endless running, the increasing workload, the feelings of negativity and discontentment? Do you desire to lead the dynamic life you know you're destined to lead? Or are you already on a positive path, but would appreciate some additional encouragement and ideas to continue on this path? If any one of these resonates with you, you'll enjoy this program on embracing a philosophy of positivity, perseverance, and peace. Life comes at us fast. That gives us all the more reason to come back at life in a positive manner, with a great deal of determination and grit, and to find our peace in the midst of the chaos and craziness! Please join me in grabbing hold of a life philosophy of enthusiasm, resoluteness, tenacity, and tranquility. Embrace it! "Introducing Career Readiness to Your Campus" Jenelle Henry, Assistant Director, Kutztown University Career Development Center Learn how to introduce a Career Readiness (Soft Skills) program to your campus population. Kutztown University introduced this program to campus supervisors two years ago with the hopes that they would "buy in" to the idea that students can learn these soft skills from their campus jobs.

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.

  • “I Love This Penn State – but Freedom Is Dearer to Me”
    “I Love This Penn State – But Freedom Is Dearer To Me” H. Jesse Arnelle: “A Love-Wait Affair” – May 18, 1968 (Note: On May 18, 1968 H. Jesse Arnelle, the former Nittany Lion Basketball All-American, and Football All-American honorable mention, was the guest of honor at the Penn State Football Awards Banquet. Arnelle would stun many in the crowd by denouncing the University’s record in failing to recruit more Black students, faculty and staff, instead of talking about sports. He further shocked many by turning down the first Annual Alumni Award in protest. The following is a partial text of H. Jesse Arnelle’s speech delivered that evening as printed in the November 19, 1968 Daily Collegian.) These are very dissimilar times from the decade of the 1950s when I attended Penn State University. Rather than embroider further the “sweet smell of success,” which is the obvious theme of this evening’s occasion, I have had to reluctantly decide to go at variance with precedence. Forego the pleasure of polite banality and not give into what would be very heavy nostalgia, but use the time instead to speak of our monumental and historical failures; the things that bring dishonor instead of glory to the University; issues pivotal to our time, heavy on my conscience and lay uncomfortably on the hearts of most American. Since it has been over a decade when I was last amongst you… and since it may be another before I return, I ask that you indulge me a little longer than the twenty-five minutes allowed.

  • 48 Hours in State College, Pennsylvania
    48 Hours in State College, Pennsylvania You could visit State College, Pennsylvania, and spend hours debating the merits and achievements of Penn State athletics. You could even try to figure out what exactly a Nittany Lion is? Or you could leave the diehard fans snug in their blue-and-white bubbles and trust that the Nittany Lion is a mountain lion that hasn’t roamed the slopes of nearby Mount Nittany in more than 125 years. If you take the second option—and you should—you’ll be able to spend every waking minute of your 48 hour visit to State College hiking, biking, fishing and imbibing your way around this picturesque college town. Day 1: It’s a popular spot to hike, but since you’re in Nittany Lion country, may as well hike Mount Nittany. The trail’s only 4.6-miles long but it’s dog-friendly (keep them on a leash, please) and has some excellent view of town and campus, so make this one of your first stops to get acquainted with the landscape. There are numbered spots along the trail, and most follow it going from 1 to 10, but if you go the other way—10 to 1—you’ll conquer some thigh-quivering stairs first thing and earn a little more solitude on the trail. The view from the top on Mount Nittany A longer hike, and one where you can earn more alone time as you put more miles under your boots, is Pennsylvania’s Mid State Trail. This 320-mile trail bisects the state, running from Maryland to New York and going right by State College on the way.
