A heartfelt thank you to Brandon Rogers ’12 for joining us at Penn State Lehigh Valley for our latest Alumni Chat, A New Way to Be Human. Brandon’s presentation was engaging, thought-provoking, and deeply impactful. Through his authentic storytelling and meaningful insights, he encouraged attendees to reflect on what it means to live with purpose, embrace vulnerability, and show up as their true selves in a world filled with expectations.

We are grateful for the time, wisdom, and inspiration he shared with our students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Thank you, Brandon, for creating such a memorable and meaningful experience for our campus community!
