Penn State’s 46th annual Renaissance Fund celebration on Nov. 1 honored local volunteers, philanthropists and Penn State graduates Paul and Nancy Silvis. The event, which was livestreamed from the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center, hosted nearly 300 in-person and online attendees and raised $618,833 for endowed scholarships to benefit students with financial need.
"A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence" concluded on June 30, raising more than $2.2 billion for the three key imperatives of a modern land-grant institution: opening the doors of higher education to students from every background; creating transformative experiences for both students and citizens; and impacting the larger world through research, outreach and service. While the nearly $844.5 million raised for the last imperative advanced a wide range of priorities across the University, the campaign focused attention on three opportunities for impact: economic development, resource security, and human health.
