Student Farm In The News
Penn State’s class of 2018 is returning to an old tradition of selecting multiple areas of the University to benefit from their support. Nelson went on to announce the three 2018 class gifts: a display of the Alma Mater in the HUB-Robeson Center; an endowment to support the Student Farm; and support for the Textbook and Educational Resources Fund.
“Each of these gifts encompasses Penn State’s values — those being integrity, respect, responsibility, discovery, excellence and community,” Nelson said.
Penn State's Class of 2018 chooses three gifts“An electric bike will be a great asset to help us move people and produce around in a more sustainable way,” said Leslie Pillen, sustainable Student Farm design coordinator. “The e-bike is a great way to demonstrate out-of-the-box thinking on how we can reduce our carbon footprint”
