>> So I came to Penn State and graduated in 1987 with a Bachelor Science in Economics.
And I came to Penn State maybe for not the best reasons.
I got an acceptance letter from Cornell and Penn State the exact same day.
That particular week there was a suicide at Cornell
over the famous Gorge Bridge that they had at the time.
Penn State was a highly ranked social school at that time,
as well as winning a national championship that year, but I was well aware
of Penn State's reputation and I knew that as I wanted to get away from western New York
where I had grown up to be able to go out into the community and the world and everywhere else
that I really would like to have Penn State on my diploma and use that.
