Penn State Beaver students continued their tradition of taking 'A Day On, Not a Day Off,' as they joined with students from other western Penn State campuses to conduct community services projects on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, Jan. 16. The day is a holiday for Penn State students, but many of them worked in outreach projects throughout the region. Every year students from Penn State's western campuses come together to conduct outreach efforts in their local communities. This year's primary coordinating campus was Penn State New Kensington. Robin Schreck, Beaver's coordinator of student activities and residence life, took Beaver students to New Kensington to work with them in service projects there, but Beaver students also worked on local projects. For information about the students' activities, contact Schreck at ras62@psu.edu or 724-773-3947, or visit www.beaver.psu.edu. (more)
