Penn State is hosting several events in celebration of Womens History Month in March with the theme: “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.”

Officials cut the ribbon on Penn State’s newest LaunchBox location Wednesday, on the second floor of the Hope Center for Arts and Technology.

Founders of the Bisexual Dating Bindr sit with Fox43 to discuss the app's growing popularity.

Philanthropists with roots in the Reading region have stepped forward with gifts that will establish a total of $2.4 million in endowed support for the Berks LaunchBox powered by Penn State. The LaunchBox delivers a range of entrepreneurship and economic development resources for the Reading community.

The state is not living up to the potential it has to be a leader in innovation, Brookings researchers say. Inclusion tactics, restored funding, geological expansion of industries and buy-in from politicians can help.

The good news is that the state has academic powerhouses such as Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania.

The endowments will establish a Penn State LaunchBox and a fund to support business owners and Sharon.
