Hear how Arts Fest shaped his creative journey, and hear a sneak peek at the collaborative piece he’ll be creating during Hintzpiration: https://tinyurl.com/TPOPSBrianKappel

Raise the Bar on the Road 🍻

We’re halfway through the series and it’s been everything we hoped for: great Penn Staters, good drinks, and even better conversations.

From Philly to NYC, Boston to Hershey — faculty have been stepping out of the classroom and into local bars for quick hits of insight, open Q&A, and conversations that don’t feel like class (but definitely make you think).

Next up: Washington, D.C., Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Puerto Rico.
Save your seat at the bar—spots are going fast and you won’t want to miss your city.
