Meet the President
Today, I went to the State Capital in Harrisburg to watch the Senate and House Appropriations hearings. I went to see the Penn State President, Graham Spanier, request additional funding from the state for the PSU operations. Overall, the hearings were really interesting and I think I might be interested in seeing the hearings for other budget lines sometime in the future.
I am really exhausted (we had to leave at 650am because we didn't get to use the University jet like the President). I promise to post more about my thoughts and impressions but I had to share this one thing before I went to bed.
In between the House and the Senate hearings, I had lunch with the President and several other university big wigs. We had a box lunch and the President ate his salad with his fingers! I know he is an older guy but forks are not that new of an invention!

WOW Tracy! That is awesome-- I bet it was really interesting- were you required to go, or chosen or what? Knowing a ton about the budget stuff will help you a lot later, with whatever you decide to do :).
Can't wait to read more about it.
