Winter is Coming: Penn State Delivers on More Than Just Sentiment!

Community Impact Map - financial aid - inclement weather - Penn State College of Engineering - Penn State Harrisburg - Penn State Health - Rail Center for Research Enhancing Short-line Transportation - trademark infringement - veterans employment

From icy weather guidelines to hefty research grants, Penn State Harrisburg is gearing up for an active winter!

As the crisp chill of late fall sets in and winter looms on the horizon, Penn State Harrisburg is reminding its community about the essential inclement weather guidelines. Just like we layer up with our favorite kiwifruit sweaters, the campus community is urged to stay informed and prepared for any frosty surprises that may come our way. This winter prep isn’t just about staying warm; it’s also about maintaining safety and ensuring that everyone continues to thrive academically during potentially disruptive weather.

Meanwhile, in an exciting development, Penn State has been awarded a generous $6.87 million grant to establish the Rail Center for Research Enhancing Short-line Transportation (Rail CREST). This innovative initiative will focus on enhancing short-line rail systems, likely pairing up with local transportation efforts and boosting regional economies faster than you can say “long trains coming!” Rail CREST is set to be a game changer in modern transportation, providing research that could improve logistics and environmental efficiency - think of it as giving Mother Earth a high-speed ride!

On another vibrant note, it’s time to put on your party shoes because WQXA 105.7 THE X is hosting the 18th annual People’s Pay 4 Play! This lively event promises a morning full of entertainment, with popular local radio personalities Nipsey, Jen Shade, and Vince at the helm to support Penn State Health. Think of it as a fun-filled fundraiser aimed at supporting essential health services, likely ensuring that we keep our bodies running as smoothly as our local trains!

And lastly, the excitement doesn’t stop here; as the University of Michigan ice hockey team gears up to take Penn State on the rink, the Pegula Ice Arena will surely be buzzing with energy! As fans drum up school spirit and cheer their teams, it serves as a reminder of the unwavering passion that embodies the college sports culture.

Whether it’s about staying snug through winter, enhancing railroad habits, or simply supporting health and sports, Penn State is rocking the boat this season. So when you’re feeling cold, just remember that behind the chilly breeze, there’s a whole lot of warmth and community spirit brewing, ready to tackle the winter blues with a hearty cheer and steadfast focus on progress!
