Opportunities for Giving
Penn State Shenango is committed to transforming the campus to improve and support student services, create a greater sense of community, and ensure that our teaching capabilities match the high level of excellence within our academic divisions. The renovation of Sharon Hall and Lecture Hall is the key initiative of our overall plan for moving Penn State Shenango toward becoming a more student-centered campus within the University. The refurbished space will create a small, warm college community within an urban setting. With greater interaction among the entire Shenango family, from incoming freshman to our most accomplished professors, we will become and even stronger presence among the region's colleges and universities.
The Penn State Annual Fund
The annual gifts of alumni and friends, designated to the campus or to an academic department, create flexibility, and help Penn State Shenango produce world-class educators. Your annual gifts allow the campus to support student activities, faculty development, and enhance new ideas and activities within departments. Department heads use discretionary funding provided by your designated annual giving to develop new programs, research, purchase computer equipment, and fund student participation in activities and projects.
