Power of Penn State

We’re not just a university—we’re a community driven to make a difference. There is something special at Penn State that converts the “I” to the “we” and puts us all on a path together—students, faculty, staff, and alumni—to create meaningful impact in Pennsylvania and beyond. We recognize individuality but show that we are stronger and better together. That is what unites all of us and connects Penn Staters anywhere in the world.
In the Power of Penn State, we show that every person has potential. Potential isn’t always obvious, but we seek it out because it is powerful. We believe that it’s the driving force that moves each and every one of us to action. And—in this film—it’s a force you can see, feel, and hear. 
Penn State is the place where potential meets potential. Where combined efforts grow exponentially, and potential energy turns into kinetic energy. It’s a place where no matter what challenges arise, everyone’s prepared to face them together – and it’s how Penn State continues to grow a community of resilient people with powerful ideas that will shape the future.
