MOUNT NITTANY NEEDS US.  The Mount Nittany Conservancy is reaching out to Penn State
Alumni Chapters, Alumni Interest Groups, and other Penn State volunteers this spring. In just a
few weeks millions of gypsy moth caterpillars will hatch on Mt. Nittany and will begin feeding on
the foliage there.  Please follow this link to see all the details about the current push to keep
the Mountain green and healthy this year, as well as into the future.

HELP A FELLOW PENN STATER COMPLETE HIS DISSERTATION.

Hi fellow Penn Staters!!  As some of you may know, I am currently a graduate student at
Vanderbilt and I am working toward my Ph.D. in Developmental Psych.  I have developed an
online questionnaire as part of my dissertation.  

Purpose of the study:
This study is designed to examine how adult's use of video games and other media relate to
their skills and abilities (such as the ability to read a map).  We are recruiting volunteers age
18 and up to participate in the study.  We would like to invite any adult to participate regardless
of their level of exposure to video games, television, books, etc.

What the study involves:

-Filling out an online survey about your likes/dislikes (related to media and leisure time
activities) and your media use.  The survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

If you are interested in participating, please click on this link.

If you have questions or concerns about this study, or would like to receive a paper copy of the
survey, please contact the project director, Brian Verdine, at 1-615-322-8387 or through e-mail
at
brian.verdine@vanderbilt.edu.  You may also contact faculty advisor Dr. Georgene Troseth
at 1-615-322-1522 or
georgene.troseth@vanderbilt.edu.

Thanks,
Brian (Class of 2003)


Desire to Coach Still Drives 81-Year-Old Paterno
April 15, 2008
There is the eight-year-old Paterno Library, which will serve students at Penn State University
for decades to come.  There is the interfaith spiritual center on campus, and the scholarships
and faculty chairs, all endowed, financially and emotionally, by Joe and Sue Paterno.  All serve
as testament to the impact the football coach has had on Penn State, and all are redundant..

WELCOME!

Our goal is to create a group
where fellow Penn State
supporters can come together
and celebrate our love for all
things PENN STATE.  We are
planning many activities and
events where everyone has an
opportunity to show their Penn
State pride, get to know other
Penn Staters and have fun.
Since we are a newly
re-organized Chapter, your
input and support are
requested and encouraged.
Please let us know what you
would like to see from your
Middle Tennessee Chapter of
the Alumni Association.
