PSU Delco students at leadership conference Eight students from Penn State Delco attended the annual Penn State Student Leadership Conference at Seven Springs Resort in Somerset, Pa., this summer. Accompanied by Director of Student Life Doreen Hettich-Atkins and Assistant Director of Student Life Luanne Sims, representatives from SGA, THON, Lion Ambassadors, IST, the student athletic board and the Black Student League made the five-hour trek in the school's small white van. The conference brought together students and fac- ulty from the Penn State campuses to talk and share ideas about the qualities of a good leader. Laura Lubrano, director of new members for the Lion Ambassadors, said the conference was "a good learning experience that allowed many of the campus- es to come together." Sims was proud of the students and said they did a "fantastic job." — MATT HALDEMAN Keep up to date on PSU Delco events In an effort to help raise awareness among stu- dents of the events on campus, the Student Life department has instituted a program called "This Week/Next Week." Each Monday and Tuesday, members of Student Life will distribute flyers to students on campus with the current week's schedule of events on one side, and the next week's events on the reverse. "This will allow students to be aware of what is happening on campus in the near future," said Luanne Sims, assistant director of student life. There is also a Web site available that lists all of the scheduled events on campus for each week of the semester. Students can see the calendar at www.events.psu.edu or by logging on to the campus’ main page at www.de.psu.edu, clicking on current stu- dents and then on calendar of events. — MATT HALDEMAN Student response team forming Heather Albright, a Penn State Delco student, is interested in starting a new student response team. The team is to consist of students who are inter- ested in or are currently involved in firefighting or EMT-related fields. A meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 12:30 p.m. in Room 201 of the Classroom Building. Contact Albright at HKA104@psu.edu. — CHRISSY GREENAN
