In a letter to the University community, Penn State President Graham Spanier explains the current budget situation at Penn State, the difficult decisions being made related to costs and the reasons behind recent actions taken by the administration and Board of Trustees.
It has been over 40 years since Gary Schultz first stepped onto the Penn State campus as a student. At the end of June he will step off as one of the most influential leaders in Penn State's history.
It's not surprising that during Schultz's 14-year tenure as senior vice president for finance and business/treasurer, the organization's slogan was "quality service, quality people." Through his vision and initiatives, the Office of Finance and Business (F&B) has helped the University grow and succeed in many areas, from enrollment size to research capabilities. Much of that success can be attributed to the quality service the organization provides the University.

Each of five major child injury hazards -- motor vehicles, drowning, burns, falls and poison -- can be found in the back yard during the summer. Riding mowers, inflatable pools, home playground equipment and even natural vegetation and sunlight require a few simple precautions. All of the safety guidelines you apply to sports, playgrounds and swimming apply to those activities in your own back yard, says this week's edition of The Medical Minute, a service of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

Researchers at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the University of Pennsylvania are studying the effects of weight loss on the ability to conceive in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and have been awarded a $3.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. This study is the first to test the effects of preconception weight loss in a controlled clinical research study, according to the latest edition of The Medical Minute, a service of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. While weight loss is generally consistent with an improvement in health quality, it is unknown whether weight loss just prior to pregnancy improves outcomes, as stored energy in fat may be helpful for a pregnancy. This study will attempt to answer the bigger question of whether fat is a friend or foe to pregnancy in these women.
