Penn State's lasting commitment to quality programs was reflected by its dedication to staying at the forefront of new develop- ments in technical and practical education. This year marked the completion of the Biotechnology Institute and the continuing evolution of newly created pro- grams in the College of Health and Human Develop- ment and in the School of Communications. Each of these programs, along with others offered by the uni- versity, was devoted to the better understanding and study of its field. Beyond the basics of the classroom, students eager- ly participated in extracurricular activities and dedi- cated themselves to campus involvement. Hundreds of student-run organizations ranging from the Cricket Club to professional and honorary societies provided students with opportunities to pursue individual inter- ests as well as develop new ones.

In addition to an impressive season showing by the Nittany Lion football team, many of our athletes suc- ceed in competition with the nations finest teams. The Womenis Lacrosse Team captured the first place title in the National Championships, Men's Wrestling was second only to Iowa, and the Women's Field Hockey Team second only to Wesr Virginia. Sports- manship was continually stressed and we cheered on our favorites as they repeatedly won with class. Both our athletes and our students were goal set- ters. For over four thousand students each year, grad- uation was their own championship title , the culmi- nation of years of hard work, the realization of ambitious goals. At Penn State, they had prepared themselves foruwhat lay ahead and were ready to achieve even more. There was a quality of life at Penn State which appealed to people of all walks of life. We felt it from the first moment that we set foot on campus. It was an air of openness and geniality, and air created by our people. Back To Square One
