Richard Ziegler's generosity has not only provided an impressive enhancement to the Penn State Harrisburg campus, it has created a new model of giving for the entire University to consider.
When Ziegler Commons adjacent to Olmsted Building was dedicated in August, it marked the first time in the history of Penn State that a donor was the builder of the project being donated.
A scholarship was organized in 2001 to honor Dr. Robert Lesniak for his 31 years of dedication to the students and educational programs. Currently, an additional $1,500 is needed to complete and award the scholarship. Once the fund is complete, the scholarship will be awarded annually to a needy graduate or undergraduate student enrolled in education programs in the School of Behavioral Sciences and Education.
Since 1990, Gerald N. Hall Sr. and the Hall Foundation, have been providing scholarships each year to deserving students at Penn State Harrisburg.
In 2004, that commitment was greatly expanded when Hall and the foundation founded by his father created the Gerald N. Hall Jr. Trustee Matching Scholarship in honor of his son.
