It is back to the grind for some of us here at Penn State Harrisburg. For others, it is a hearty welcome to college, a different world from what you're used to. Either way, the campus is now flooded with faculty and students, where two weeks ago it was disturbingly empty. It is back to the cramped lines in Stacks and the lines out to the first floor bathroom in Biscottis. I suppose we can all be comforted by the fact that not much has changed, although Vartan Plaza is a definite visual improvement.
Our first week of classes has officially ended. Some of us had a great week, meeting old friends and new friends, and, of course, finding out our class loads. Others might have had a terrible week, but chin up, there's more time ahead of you to make the best out of the semester.
In making the best of the semester, I encourage you guys and girls to get involved. There are a ton of clubs out there, something for everyone. Amongst those clubs is the Honors Club (not program). The president, Bryan Tarkington, as well as the rest of the executive board, Zach Biggers, Vice President, Connor Slaybaugh, the Treasurer, and myself as Secretary, would love to have you around. The Honors Club is hoping to do big things, a possible name change for one, since it is open to not just Honors Program members but the general student body as well. So keep your eyes and ears peeled for news about the Honors Club, and hopefully I will see some of you at future meetings.
I would also encourage you to come write for this blog. We will need lots of writers with different experiences to speak of, not limited to the program experiences. In an effort to turn a new leaf on a new year, I would like to shake things up for the former newsletter, now blog.
If anyone would like to help me with this endeavor (you must be a Penn State Harrisburg student), send an email to psuhbghonors@gmail.com. I will be sure to reply to you.
Have a great semester and a fantastic year! Until next time, goodbye Nittany Lions.
