People are the Power and Promise of PASSHE
Even with a fresh blanket of snow, the energy at our universities is electric as the spring semester begins. Students are energized and eager, and faculty and staff have been hard at work to ensure a smooth return. At the same time, we know all too well how quickly the next 16 weeks will go, so getting off to a good start makes the difference.
Our people make the difference. You make the difference. And this year, we will lift up stories of how people are the true power and promise of PASSHE. Here are just a few:
Our people make the difference. You make the difference. And this year, we will lift up stories of how people are the true power and promise of PASSHE. Here are just a few:
- Dr. Randilyn Lewis, an assistant professor at PennWest University who helps nursing students build their confidence so they can positively influence their communities.
- Dr. Sherri Bergsten, a professor at Shippensburg University who conducts cancer research alongside her students and enjoys witnessing their growth.
People are at the heart of everything we do. Whether it's engaging our students, faculty, and staff, collaborating with the local community, or leveraging our talented alumni, we all play a vital role in advancing student success. Our people shape and inspire the next generation of leaders, thinkers, doers, teachers, makers and more. Our people are the power and promise of PASSHE.
In 2026, we will share stories of PASSHE’s people, including alumni who are making an impact in Pennsylvania. Many of them are your local business leaders, healthcare professionals, educators, and neighbors who seek out ways to engage and give back to the university that means so much to them. They understand the power and promise of their PASSHE university. They live it every day.
This is key as we embark upon advocacy season during which PASSHE is seeking increased investment from the state — an investment in the people of Pennsylvania. We are advocating for at least a 5% increase in our state appropriation for 2026-27 so we can keep PASSHE universities high-quality, affordable, and accessible. By sharing stories of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni, we will illustrate the transformative impact our universities have on the lives of many Pennsylvanians, both now and in the future.
If you have an inspiring story we can share, send me an email (chancellor@passhe.edu).
