Our students, faculty, and staff have been working so hard, and our first-ever BerksaPalooza offered everyone a much-needed break! This event was a great success, featuring airbrush and caricature artists, as well as massages, @dickeysbarbecuepit , @konaice and so much more. We loved socializing together for a few hours before turning back to our end-of-semester duties. 💙🤍

One of the coolest things about being a Penn State undergraduate is the ample opportunities to conduct impactful research, whether you join a faculty mentor on their project or conduct original research of your own. It was great to check out the research projects our students have been working on all semester at last week's Berks Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium!
THE CHAMP IS HERE!! 🏆

Last week, we hosted our 4th annual I'm ALIVE Mental Health Fair, which featured 20 community and campus resources. We get through our most difficult times by connecting with community, and every year, Penn State Berks and our friends in the Greater Reading community show up to demonstrate their support for our students, friends, and neighbors. We are so grateful for these partnerships and resources!
