A "Day of Caring"

A Day of Caring - The Humphrey Fellows planted 625 plants near Fleet Operations on the PSU campus. Teamwork helped them to finish in 2 hours....the fellows plan to visit in the Spring to see if the plants survive! They hope they do,too!

Panama Hat for Dr. Spanier

 
Mateo Estrella, Humphrey Fellow from Ecuador presented special hat to Dr. Spanier before joining the rest of the fellows during President Spanier tailgate party held at his residence before the Temple Game on September 24, 2010. The fellows all enjoyed their day especially after PSU took the lead. Dean Monk and Pamela Monk explained the rules of the games. It was a very nice opportunity to watch the game from the president's box. More photos to come.....

Teleconference with College Presidents

 

Dr. Beverly Lindsey, Professor of Higher Education at Penn State University arranged a teleconference with the following participants while on sabaticcal at Dillard University this fall: President Hughes, Dillard University; Humphrey Fellows of Tulane University; President Cowan of Tulane along with Penny Jessop, Humphrey Coordinator of Tulane. The fellows enjoyed the process however they wish they had more time for questions.

Just a few photos to let you know how beautiful and green our campus is this time of year.

Team Work

The fellows are preparing for the closing ceremony held April 27, 2010 at the Nittany Lion Inn. It is hard to believe this year's program is winding down. Many of the fellows are preparing to leave Penn State to start working at their professional affiliations. Fellows will be going to Washington, DC, New York City, NY, Boston, MA, Bloomington, IN, Eugene, OR, and Harrisburg, PA. Today we are enjoying summer like weather......hope it continues!

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellows joined this year's German Teachers on their annual trip to Philadelphia, Pa. This is a intensive three week program hosted by the College of Education. Nine Humphrey Fellows had the chance to interact with the visiting scholars while enjoying the "City of Brotherly Love", Philadelphia, PA. The group visited the Science Leadership Academy which is part of the Philadelpia City Public School system. Many took in the Picasso exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art while others walked through the historical sites.
The group met to tour the National Constitution Center hosted by two lawyers from the PA Bar Association. The weather was beautiful! The program appreciates the opportunity to spend this time in Philadelphia and with the German teachers.
