Three Penn State Berks students are taking active steps to make a difference in the city of Reading. They were among the 10 young adults who City Council voted to approve to serve on the first Reading Youth Commission.
Penn State Berks is reaching out to the local community in a new way — through "LionSide Chats," a modern interpretation of former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Depression-era “Fireside Chats.” These webinars provide current and timely talks from college faculty and staff experts on a variety of topics and disciplines.
Penn State Berks students collaborated with members of the Latino community to publish a book titled "Our City Inside Out: Changing Perceptions of Reading." A book launch will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Doubletree Hotel.
