    As Pennsylvania's only land-grant university, Penn State has a broad mission of teaching, research, and public service. In 1855, the Commonwealth chartered it as one of the nation's first colleges of agricultural science, with a goal to apply scientific principles to farming. A series of undergraduate branch campuses were established in the1930s primarily to meet the needs of students who were location-bound during the Great Depression. Those campuses were predecessors of today's system of 24 Penn State campuses located throughout the Commonwealth.

    Living in Hudson isn’t half bad. Then again it’s not bad at all. It’s probably one of the best places in the midwest to grow up. Besides living in Florida or California where it’s always warm and sunny, Hudson is closest to the best. I don’t know much about South Africa, but I bet their living conditions are subpar compared to Hudson.…

    The United States was founded upon the principle of democracy. In fact, the binding behind all aspects of American government is an important document known as the Constitution of the United States of America that states all policies and principles necessary in order to structure a democratic governmental system. Democracy can be summed up by one important phrase present in the United States Constitution: “We the people…” and when the people change, political structure and policy must adjust to meet the needs of an increasingly diversified population (“The Constitution of the United States” 3). One state which exemplifies a rapid diversifying of a population is the southern states of Texas. Texas has long since been a state known for its diversity,…

It is home to the third largest public transportation system in North America, enabling residents to go without a car if they so choose.

    There were many towns and cities that had never or unsuccessfully endeavored to have a racial diversity within them. Imagine living in a city where you weren’t allowed to conversate and do activities with others because they weren’t the same color as you.
