Welcome to Penn State Scranton!
Dear Students, Faculty, Staff and Visitors,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Penn State Scranton, a place where innovation, excellence and community converge. As the Chancellor, I am honored to lead an institution that is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment for learning, research, and personal growth.
At our campus, we pride ourselves on our commitment to academic excellence and our rich tradition of nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Our distinguished faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and diverse student body create a dynamic and supportive atmosphere that encourages intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge.
We are constantly evolving to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world, as can be evidenced by our new Mechanical Engineering degree program and the most recent improvements made to our Library and the expansion of our Nursing Suite’s labs and teaching spaces.
Our campus’ strategic initiatives are designed to enhance the educational experience, promote interdisciplinary collaboration and research, and expand our impact on our local, state and national communities.
Whether it’s through faculty-student research; raising money to help fight pediatric cancer through THON; establishing degree programs tailored to meet the economic and workforce needs of our region; sending student volunteers into the community to help non-profits and those less fortunate; or helping local entrepreneurs through our Scranton LaunchBox and Center for Business Development and Community Outreach, Penn State Scranton is engaged and committed being a partner and catalyst in northeast Pennsylvania.
I invite you to explore all that Penn State Scranton has to offer.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future for all.
Warm regards,
Elizabeth J. Wright, Ph.D.
Regional Chancellor, Penn State Scranton, Penn State Hazleton, Penn State Wilkes-Barre.
