One Program, Three Pillars
Learn, Think, Grow
Drawing on capabilities within many colleges and disciplines, students develop knowledge and skills through hands-on and real-world learning that prepare them to address complex issues facing our modern food system.
Rooted in Community
Through engaged scholarship and outreach activities, students, faculty, and community members meaningfully connect with one another and their food system.
Farm to Campus
We view our campus as a microcosm for us to build and demonstrate a local and sustainable food system, with tens of thousands of students, staff and faculty, a network of residential dining halls, fine dining establishments and an affiliated retirement community.
Indigenous Land
Acknowledgement
The Pennsylvania State University campuses are located on the original homelands of the Erie,Haudenosaunee (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, and Tuscarora), Lenape (Delaware), Shawnee (Absentee, Eastern, and Oklahoma), Susquehannock, and Wahzhazhe (Osage) Nations. As a land grant institution, we acknowledge and honor the traditional caretakers of these lands and strive to understand and model their responsible stewardship. We also acknowledge the longer history of these lands and our place in that history. Consistent with the University’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, understanding the historical and current experiences of Indigenous peoples will help inform the work we do; collectively as a university to engage in building relationships through academic scholarship, collaborative partnerships, community service, enrollment and retention efforts acknowledging our past, our present and future Indigenous Nations.
