Hello Fellows! I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but here I am again. This past Tuesday, Dr. Selzer, Christine, Ginelle, Brian, Danielle, Olivia, Doug, and I met to discuss some very exciting events and ideas about the program for the coming months. This post is meant to function more as minutes on our meeting because, while we have some great events in the works, we don’t have official plans yet. I felt that it was necessary to clue you all into what we’re thinking about.
As of right now, we’re planning to coordinate five different events for all Paterno Fellows Program participants (this includes you too, Aspirants). While I am not at the liberty to say exactly what these events are, I will tell you a little bit about them. Our first event will be taking place very soon (November, actually) and those details will be sent to you very soon. This is going to be more of a leisure event, something that will bring you back to your childhood even. The rest of the events, however, are being planned for the Spring 2011 semester.
The second event of the year will be more of a recognition event for those that have been accepted into the Paterno Fellows Program (but attendance will be open to Aspirants as well). For this we are planning to have an item of recognition, which will not be a stuffy award or plaque, but something you can actually use. And of course, no recognition event would be complete without food, so be on the lookout for that and be sure to put it on your calendar! The last three events to be held before May will consist of a play (for those who like comedy), a musical (for those who like plays, but prefer to have music with them), and a forum of sorts (for those who aren’t really “artsy”). Again, these events are still in the works, but I will say that you have definitely heard of the musical before; it’s based off a famous book (or infamous depending on how you look at it).
This is really where my new information ends and your excitement should begin. I know that none of this information really told you anything, but that’s something to look for in the next few weeks because we are excited for the events that we’re planning, as should you. Please keep following this blog for more information about the mysterious events that I have described which will be coming soon and for your eyes only.
Finally, I would like to ask you to keep telling your friends about this blog and the other Liberal Arts blogs (LAUSatPSU, LAUS Announcements, and The Education Abroad Experience). Check out what’s happening within the College of Liberal Arts and what LAUC is planning and doing (the tab is found in the top right-hand corner of the page). As a Liberal Arts student, expand your knowledge about the college and opportunities available exclusively to you by reading these blog entries. You never know what you may find!
