The hardest workout on campus is officially under construction 🚧

If you’ve spent any time at Penn State Scranton, you probably know which spot we’re talking about.
Hint: Your calves definitely remember it. 😅

The Stairway to Heaven is getting a facelift this summer with redesigned steps featuring a gentler grade and an updated look. When students return this fall, they’ll be welcomed by a safer, more accessible and refreshed pathway.

We are pleased to announce that Menah Pratt has been named regional chancellor for the Hazleton, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre campuses, effective August 1.

Dr. Pratt currently serves as vice president for strategic affairs and professor of education at Virginia Tech and brings extensive experience to her new role, including strategic planning, enrollment and student success initiatives, faculty development, academic leadership, and organizational effectiveness.
