In June, “This is Penn State” offers a close-up of Shaver’s Creek -- with  the emphasis on feathers and scales. 

Located 12 miles from campus, the University facility has been connecting people with nature since 1976 and boasts a collection of live birds of prey and reptiles.

In Episode 2 of “This is Penn State,” Jason Beale, program director of live animal care, gives a glimpse of his wild world.

“This is Penn State” made it’s debut last month with a look at the West Halls’ beloved chocolate chip cookie. 

The monthly Web series shines a spotlight on things that make Penn State exceptional, whether it’s in the middle of campus or off the beaten path.
