UE Hosts Opportunity Institute
Undergraduate Education hosted the 2024 Opportunity Institute at the University Park campus, June 10–12. The three day event brought together 101 Penn State participants in-person and online to foster dynamic discussions around structural barriers to student success. A total of 56 higher ed institutions were represented from across the U.S.
In addition to University Park, the Harrisburg, Abington, Altoona, Behrend, Brandywine, DuBois, Hershey, Hazleton, Mont Alto, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre campuses and World Campus all participated.
One highlight of the 2024 Opportunity Institute was a provocation talk by Dr. Mary Dana Hinton, president of Hollins University. Watch Dr. Hinton's talk, From the Margins to the Heart, in SharePoint.
