A March 4 informal info session over pizza gave Fellows a chance to raise questions and to make suggestions.
And among the topics for discussion was this one: I asked those gathered to suggest some events that they would enjoy participating in and that would be attractive to the next class of Paterno Fellows, arriving in August.
Among the ideas: Group hike to Mt Nittany in fall. A dance. A pep rally before a game next fall. A Christmas trip to London to experience the London stage. A bus daytrip to Philadelphia or Baltimore or New York. A Spring Break trip to Civil Rights Movement sites in connection with a spring course on the subject. (These last two suggestions were inspired by the current Fellows trip to Paris that some students are enjoying over Spring Break as part of their First Year Seminar.)
As you can see, the ideas ranged from small to BIG. How about sending me some other ideas? You can either email me at jls25@psu.edu or suggest some ideas on our Paterno Fellows Facebook page.
