Description:

Penn State Geography Stands in Solidarity with Those Resisting Oppression Penn State Geography is a diverse community with representation from many countries, racial and ethnic groups, gender identities, and political perspectives. Our research and teaching embrace diversity because we believe in a pluralistic society and are committed to justice for all peoples.We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, our Black and racialized students, and all people calling for racial justice. We stand against police brutality directed at Black people in the United States, including the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless others. We stand against violence directed at protesters exercising their constitutional rights. As a department and community, we commit ourselves to taking action to advance the struggle against oppression – at Penn State and beyond – and are in solidarity with peoples around the world struggling against oppressive conditions and who are working for a more just, equitable and fair world. Firescapes in the Mid-Atlantic Erica Smithwick explains how controlled burns, or “prescribed fire” remove a fire risk from an area. She even pointed out some of the unexpected benefits for hunting. The Oak, Pine, Hickory stands that we are trying to promote through prescribed fire, those are the same stands that actually encourage game species such as deer, turkey and quail to come back to game land areas. Statement on Rights and Community Penn State Geography statement on rights and community. We are all in. Giving to improve diversity in STEM Penn State geography alum Tony Hutchinson, who is director of government and industry relations at Freddie Mac, says those paving the way for improving representation in STEM fields will have a cascading effect and will foster more diversity in science and leadership roles.

Geography student Talia Potochny wants to use augmented reality to help people with sensory impairment.When I first came to Penn State, I had no idea what I wanted to study and then I was introduced to one of the spaces on campus that had virtual reality and I said, “That's what I want to do."
