When first founded, Penn State was known as the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania. One of the pillars in back of the HUB on the University Park campus of Penn State shows the institution's early beginnings. The pillars, by renowned artist William Culbertson created this promenade along the HUB lawn that explores 150 years of campus life in honor of Penn State’s Sesquicentennial. The five pillars detail different periods in the University’s history and depict various aspects of student life, activities, athletics, and cultural events.
The Big Ten Academic Alliance’s Department Executive Officers Program has gained five additional Fellows from the Penn State ranks. Through the program, participants who have demonstrated exceptional ability through University administrative assignments or other significant positions in public, private or professional organizations, are aided in further developing their leadership and managerial skills.
