“Clarion University: 150 Years of Academic Excellence. What’s next?” is the topic of the Clarion breakfast at 8 a.m. Monday, Aug. 22, in the multi-purpose room of Suites on Main North.
President Karen Whitney and the academic leadership will discuss new programs launched recently, as well as programming that is in the pipeline as the university kicks off the next 150 years. Free parking is available adjacent to the building.
“What will Clarion University’s Venango Campus Look Like in 2046?” is the focus of the Venango breakfast at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23, in the Robert W. Rhoades lounge.
The discussion will center around initiatives designed to support Venango’s longevity, viability and sustainability, including the development of new academic programming, a re-envisioned Charles R.
