The University community is invited to an Ice Cream Social hosted by President Graham B. Spanier at 3:15 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27, to celebrate the philanthropic progress of the faculty and staff initiative of The Grand Destiny Campaign. The campaign, Penn State's $1 billion fund-raising initiative to strengthen its mission of teaching, research and service to society, was launched publicly on April 23. It will run through June 30, 2003, and involves all 24 Penn State locations.
The ice cream will be served on the portico of Eisenhower Auditorium on the University Park campus, immediately preceding Spanier's State of the University Address at 4 p.m. in Eisenhower Auditorium.
The president's talk is open to the public and all faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.
