“Penn State's graduate program is incredible from its stunning campus to the impeccably impressive labs. However, what makes Penn State standout the most for me are the faculty and staff. The professors continue to be awe-inspiring and their level of commitment to high-quality research has taught me how to be a better scientist. The staff at Penn State help make graduate school a brighter experience and they help create a positive and supportive environment. Collectively, the people at Penn State are what makes the graduate school a positive force for groundbreaking research.”
