Private philanthropy is essential if we are to realize these goals. Donors create virtuous circles, where one gift, say to create a professorship, has a positive impact on both graduate and undergraduate students. Such virtuous circles are highlighted in the three short videos below.  If you have questions or comments after viewing the videos, please contact Mark Luellen, Director of Development, at mml17@psu.edu or (814) 863-1827.

2008

	A Virtuous Circle: One Good Turn Leads to Another Two donors fund a professorship, which in turn positively impacts the lives of the faculty member appointed to the position, a graduate student and two undergraduate students.
	A Meeting of Literary Minds: The Paterno Family Professorship A short story of one professor, the couple who created the professorship that brought him to Penn State, and the impact that professorship has had on increasing the notoriety of Penn State.
	Thank You A moving tribute to donors who, through their philanthropy, make a powerful difference in the lives of faculty and students.
