A Thank You to the Blue and White

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - When I moved in to Geary Hall as an 18-year-old freshman in August of 2004, I didn't envision spending the next 12 years on the greatest campus in America.

But an opportunity to begin working as student intern in 2006 led to eight gratifying years of professional work out of the strategic communications office (formally athletic communications).

You hear it a lot from individuals who have spent time on the University Park campus, but it's the truth. The people make Penn State special. Cultivating relationships with fellow staff members, administrators, media members, coaches and hundreds of student-athletes has truly made this opportunity unique.
