The Pennsylvania Center for Latino Research at Penn State Harrisburg will host Nicole Kreisberg, assistant professor of public policy at Penn State, for a presentation on undocumented migration in the United States.
The workshop, titled "Frontiers of Rural Health & AI: Planning for Rural Pennsylvania," will take place on Oct. 30 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the University Conference Center in Hershey. Co-organized by Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute and Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, the event aims to identify priority research areas that will directly serve rural communities in Pennsylvania and across the nation.
Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT), part of Penn State University Libraries, has named 21 recipients of the 2026 Faculty Engagement Awards with this year’s theme, “Teaching with AI Glasses: Augmented Reality for Real-Time Learning.”
For undergraduate students interested in the biomedical sciences, the path from the classroom to a career in clinical research can sometimes feel hidden. But through the Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute's Undergraduate Clinical Research Training Program, that pathway is more than illuminated — it is a launchpad for the next generation of medical discovery professionals, according to Andrea Stevens, program director.
Penn State graduate students in a research-based degree program are invited to participate in Penn State's annual Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT), hosted by the J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School. 3MT helps graduate students improve their research communication and presentation skills, permitting just three minutes and one static presentation slide to effectively communicate their research and its impact to an audience outside their field.
