New Issue on the Way

We haven’t seen the finished product ourselves yet, but our printer tells me that the January-February issue of The Penn Stater is in the mail and should be arriving in mailboxes any day now.
We’re always interested in hearing how readers react to the magazine, but that’s especially true this time. We devoted more than 40 pages of the new issue to the Sandusky scandal and related news. You can get a feel for what’s in the new issue by clicking on the image above—that takes you to a larger, more readable version of the table of contents.
We think the coverage is pretty honest and unflinching. We also hope it doesn’t just rehash all the stuff you already know; instead we’ve offered—among other scandal-related stories—22 thoughtful mini-essays, by contributors ranging from Adam Taliaferro ’05 to survivors of child sexual abuse to Penn State’s first Rhodes Scholar, Tess Thompson ’97.
Please let us know what you think, either by posting a note in the Comments section here or by sending us an email at pennstater@psu.edu. We really look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Just read through the issue while standing in my driveway with snow falling. Couldn’t stop reading. Somehow, I become more and more sad as time passes from this tragedy.

Kudos to The Penn Stater magazine staff for putting together a thoughtful and contemplative view of the Sandusky indictment and the ensuing media firestorm that drove events of the last 2 months. It surely wasn’t easy and your efforts are greatly appreciated by me and I’m sure by many other alumni.
Keep up the excellent work!

[...] of all, no, that’s not a black box you see at the right. It’s the cover of our new January-February issue. There actually is text in there—really! The cover doesn’t render very well on screen, and [...]
