UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Throughout 2020, Penn Staters around the globe have continuously demonstrated creativity and resilience in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
To celebrate the grit, determination and resilient spirit that bonds us as Penn Staters, this year, for the University’s annual end-of-year video, we’re turning the lens on you — our students, faculty, staff and alumni.
From now until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, we’re collecting portraits of Penn Staters to feature in the University’s resilience-themed end-of-year video.
Professional photos are not required; all we ask is you look straight into the camera (see examples above) and show your determination and resilience. All Penn State students, faculty, staff and alumni are eligible and encouraged to submit via this online form.
The final video will include a montage of selected portraits and be published on Penn State’s social media platforms and website in mid-December.
