This summer, Penn State Berks gives youth and young adults the opportunity to explore, create and innovate at the college’s STEM, humanities and arts-focused camps. Whether they’re interested in robotics, coding, engineering or storytelling and communications, these camps provide hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity and foster problem-solving skills. In addition to stimulating STEM activities, youth and young adults will have the opportunity to develop teamwork, creativity and critical thinking – all while having fun in a safe and supportive environment.
Many students at Penn State Berks take advantage of the opportunity to conduct research, working one-on-one with faculty members on campus. To celebrate these students’ success, Penn State Berks recently held its first Berks Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium on April 25. The next day, students presented at the Higher Education Council of Berks County Undergraduate Research and Creativity Conference, hosted by Reading Area Community College.
Isabella Romig, a Penn State Berks psychology major with a minor in Spanish and a certificate in Spanish for health care, was selected as this year’s student marshal.

Schreyer Scholars celebrate the completion of their theses at an event known as “Gong Days," where each student gets the opportunity to ring a full-size gong and celebrate the culmination of months or years of work on their thesis.
