I will support efforts to expand research funding, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the development of cutting-edge solutions to global challenges. By embracing innovation, we position Penn State as a leader in education and discovery.

Penn State’s rich history is a source of inspiration. I am committed to preserving the traditions and values that define our identity while driving progress to meet the demands of an ever-evolving world. By balancing reverence for our heritage with a vision for the future, we can create a legacy of excellence that endures.
