The Road Map for Penn State’s Future

Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi has shared a message on the direction for Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses. 

“As I have said many times before, Penn State’s Commonwealth Campus ecosystem is essential to fulfilling our land-grant mission. I believe deeply in the role our campuses play in serving Pennsylvania communities, providing access to education, and driving economic opportunity across the state,” Bendapudi said in a message to the Penn State community. “At the same time, we must acknowledge the realities before us. We cannot continue with business as usual. The challenges we face — declining enrollments, demographic shifts and financial pressures — are not unique to Penn State, but they require us to make difficult choices.”
