🏆 Congratulations to Cara Arnoldi! 🏆

The recent MPP graduate took first place in the Arts and Humanities category at the 2026 Graduate Exhibition for her project "Navigating Civic Deserts through an Alternative Form of Civic Education."

Each spring, the Graduate Exhibition brings together grad students from across Penn State to share their research with the community.

As part of the American 250 & Beyond campaign, our PUBPL 305 students have created profiles of Centre County public service leaders who strengthen our community every day.

⭐ Amy Farkas, Township Manager of Patton Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania

⭐ Ezra Nanes, Mayor of the Borough of State College

⭐ Amber Concepcion, Centre County Government Commissioner and Vice Chair

These profiles showcase how our leadership's decisions impact thousands of residents daily, right here in our own community.

These student-created exhibits, shared throughout the Penn State College of the Liberal Arts, are part of a coordinated national campaign highlighting public service careers and inspiring the next generation of civic leaders.

🎓 Huge congratulations to our students for their work documenting the work and dedication of our local public servants!
