🌟 SEPTEMBER HIGHLIGHT: DINING UNDER THE STARS 💙🤍

What a proud and memorable moment for our Penn State Brandywine Center for Social Impact!

We had the honor of welcoming the legendary Ms. Patty Jackson as our special guest for Dining Under the Stars on State Street in Media, Pennsylvania. The evening was a beautiful example of what happens when we bring communities, cities, and generations together through joy, wisdom, connection, and impact. 🌟💫

“Love what you do, and do what you love. It’s going to take work.”
— Ms. Patty Jackson

Thank you, Ms. Jackson, for taking the time to dine with Penn State Brandywine, share your journey and wisdom, and encourage our next generation of Impact Leaders to keep believing, keep working, and keep moving forward!

This experience brought our CSI pillars of Community Development and Life Literacy to life through meaningful intergenerational learning and authentic community connection.

A special thank-you to the Penn State Alumni Association and Brandywine LaunchBox for helping create such a meaningful experience for our students and community.

CENTER FOR SOCIAL IMPACT Ă— CITYTEAM CHESTER!

Our Penn State Brandywine Center for Social Impact students recently joined CityTeam Chester to help prepare for its Bluegrass & BBQ event!

From organizing materials and preparing glassware to helping set up the event space, our students worked alongside CityTeam Chester staff and community volunteers to help bring the experience together.

This service experience brought two CSI pillars to life:

🏡 Community Development—building meaningful connections between our students, campus and community partners.

🌟Human Rights: Access to Basic Needs—supporting efforts that help people experiencing homelessness, food insecurity and crisis access critical resources.

A huge shout-out to our students for showing up, working together and representing the Center for Social Impact through service! 💙🤍

Thank you, CityTeam Chester, for welcoming our students and continuing to provide meaningful opportunities to learn, connect and make an impact.

We didn’t just prepare for an event—we helped prepare the way for impact! 🌍✨

🏠 Our CSI × Habitat for Humanity club meetings are officially underway!

We already have two meetings in the books, and our students are ready to build, serve, lead and connect this semester. Through our Center for Social Impact and partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery and Delaware Counties, we are creating opportunities for students to develop as peer leaders while making a meaningful difference in our campus and surrounding communities.

A special shout-out to our students and Impact Leaders for stepping forward and helping us get the ball rolling. You will be hearing much more from them as they help shape our goals, service projects and impact throughout the year! 🛠️🙌🏾

We meet every other Thursday during Common Hour.

🛍️ DONATE YOUR BAGS. MAKE AN IMPACT. 💙

You may have seen these boxes around campus — but do you know where those plastic bags are going?

This semester, CSI is bringing Mats of Love to Penn State Brandywine. ♻️🧶

Plastic bags that might otherwise be thrown away can be collected, transformed into “plarn” (plastic yarn), and crocheted into sleeping mats for people experiencing homelessness.

And we need your help!

đź“Ť You can find our collection boxes at:
• Main Building
• Tomezsco
• Blue Café
• Orchard Hall

Have some extra plastic bags? Bring them with you and drop them in a Mats of Love box. One bag may seem small, but together, our campus community can turn something that would have been waste into something useful. 🌱

Small contribution. Bigger purpose.

CSI Ă— D.A.R.N. (DELCO Area Resource Network)

A special thank-you to Penn State Brandywine’s Director of Counseling Services, Ed Dixon, for collaborating with our Center for Social Impact to host the D.A.R.N. Quarterly Meeting!

It was a great opportunity to welcome community leaders and organizations from across Delaware County, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen the connection between our campus and the surrounding community.

Our Center was proud to share the impact of CSI, highlight the work happening through our programs and partnerships, and continue positioning CSI as a resource for our students and the greater DELCO community.

Impact is not created in isolation—it grows through collaboration, connection, and a shared commitment to serving others.

Thank you to everyone who attended, connected, and contributed to such a meaningful gathering!

CSI Ă— Renaissance Academy High School

Our Center for Social Impact was excited to welcome more than 50 high school seniors from Renaissance Academy to Penn State Brandywine!

In collaboration with our Admissions team, CSI had the opportunity to serve as a front door to the Brandywine experience—connecting with prospective students who may become our future campus and community leaders.

Students explored our Center’s space, learned about our Food Pantry, and discovered how our Mats of Love project is transforming plastic bags into sleeping mats for individuals experiencing homelessness.

They also learned how every CSI initiative aligns with our four strategic pillars:

🏡 Community Development
🗳️ Civic Engagement
⚖️ Human Rights (Access to Basic Needs)
đź’ˇ Life Literacy

CSI is more than service. We are a high-impact organization developing socially responsible leaders through meaningful experiences that connect students with purpose, people, and their communities.

Thank you to Renaissance Academy and Penn State Brandywine Admissions for an awesome tour experience!

🕊️ Today, we recognize the International Day of Peace.

Peace is more than the absence of conflict—it is the intentional work of building stronger communities, protecting human dignity, creating access and helping people move forward together.

As we continue to connect with impact, may we remember that each of us has a role in creating pathways toward peace, understanding and positive change.

Today, we recognize Constitution Day and reflect on the document that established the framework of our government and continues to shape civic life in the United States.
The Constitution was signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. More than history, it’s an opportunity to learn, ask questions, understand our rights and responsibilities, and stay engaged in our communities.
