Dean's Community Message

April 26, 2020

Dear College of Engineering Community,

Today’s inspirational quote was submitted by Kristin Harpster, events coordinator in the Dean’s Office:

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
—Soren Kierkegaard

As we head into the last week of the semester — a time always rich for contemplation — it’s natural to consider the many lessons we’ve learned, especially throughout this extraordinarily challenging experience. How do you plan to use what you’ve learned to live forward?

I do not have any administrative updates to share with you today. I hope all of you are having a great weekend, and I wish you the best in the weeks to come.

Please continue to email me your “Because I couldn’t …” and your inspirational quotes. Penn State updates are available on the University’s coronavirus information site. You can connect with me on LinkedIn and follow the college on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Take care!

Justin Schwartz
Harold and Inge Marcus Dean, College of Engineering
