New! Improved!

I am very excited to tell you that our new online portal is taking shape and we have already moved the blog over to engage.shc.psu.edu! Book mark that site and set your news reader to update because that is where all the action will be.

This site will be your portal into what is happening at Schreyer Honors College. The main site, http://shc.psu.edu/ will continue to be the main source for information about the college, our UPDATE newsletter, requirements, etc. But engage.shc.psu.edu will be the nexus of our online presence.

Features that will be forthcoming (in addition to my blog):

Student blog - current students who will share their thoughts on SHC and PSU primarily for prospective students.

Podcast - a biweekly podcast (to be launched in early October) that will feature interviews with key SHC and campus figures, stories of Scholars activities and research, and current SHC/PSU events. Also produced by our students!

Newsline - on the sidebar we will have links to live.psu.edu and our own SHC news items.

So stay tuned for great new features! In the meantime head over to and bookmark engage.shc.psu.edu!

PENN STATE STUDENT RECEIVES FELLOWSHIP FROM THE CENTER FOR THE
STUDY OF THE PRESIDENCY

Elena Cross, a junior Schreyer Scholar double-majoring in political
science and international studies with minors in French and history,
was chosen by the Center for the Study of the Presidency to receive a
fellowship for leadership and public service. The Center for Study of
the Presidency is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that
encourages study of the Presidency and public service among young
Americans. The Center for Study of the Presidency offers 65
undergraduate and graduate scholarships that award recipients with a
yearlong opportunity to study the Presidency. This serves the
American public by developing the next generation of American
leaders. Cross has held an interest in American political and social
history since her youth but especially after September 11, when she
became increasingly interested in global politics, particularly those
relating to underdeveloped countries.
