Hello
fellow alumni and Penn State faithful, the Greater Cleveland alumni
chapter leadership team hopes that you and yours were able to enjoy a
safe Christmas and New Year’s. As we start 2012 and with all the
negativity surrounding the university, we wanted to reach out to
everyone and remind you of how great our university is and always will
be. I know we can speak for everyone reading this in that
our universities reputation has been dragged through the mud in recent
months as it seems each day the media outlets do what they must to
sensationalize the negativity of what a few people have done to so many.
Surely we all have at some point recently looked back to say how or
why and maybe even reconsidered our own opinions or beliefs.
On the other hand no one talks about the THON benefit which continues to
be the largest university run donor program in the world. Look at the
countless amounts of young cancer patients that have been helped because
of this. If you think that those kids think of Penn State any
differently I probably and highly doubt that. No one mentions all of
the good things that the football program has provided to countless
university athletes regardless of gender across a multitude of sports
and the general positive moral the program brings to the community.
Finally and we mustn’t forget this but the academic education that we
all received continues to be a building block of what we all have up to
this point and hope to achieve further down the road.
We
hope that in the coming weeks or months that you have a few moments of
quiet solitude to go back and reflect on all of the things that you
think are great about Penn State University. Put together in total we
probably have an infinite amount of stories that to this moment still
show why this university is the best in all the land hands down. So the
next time someone may want to ask you your opinion about the issues
currently taking place at the university don’t hesitate to speak your
opinion but in the end remind them that, WE ARE always but now more than
ever PENN STATE. On behalf of all the local alumni, thanks for your
time and support as we truly appreciate it.
Greater Cleveland PSU Alumni Chapter
President Robert C. Clark
