Library profile: Penn State

Institution profile: Penn State is a land grant institution often described as the one university geographically dispersed. Penn State supports twenty-two campuses scattered across the commonwealth. Contrary to what one might infer from the name Penn State, the University is considered "state related," not state supported, since less than one quarter of expenditures come from the state. We have just completed a $350 million capital campaign effort to support the programs of the university.
