Harrisburg – Graduates of California and East Stroudsburg Universities of Pennsylvania will talk about how their college experiences helped prepare them for career success when the fourth season of Infinite Opportunities premieres at 9:30 a.m., Sunday, on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN).
The Season 4 debut episode also will include video visits to the campuses of Lock
Haven, Shippensburg and West Chester Universities of Pennsylvania, as the program
answers the question: “Why a State System University?”
Infinite Opportunities airs at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday on PCN. The half-hour, public affairs program features
roundtable discussions with faculty, staff, students and alumni from the 14 State
System universities talking about a range of higher education topics and issues.
State System Interim Chancellor Karen M. Whitney will moderate the weekly discussions.
Each program also will offer viewers the opportunity to “travel” back to the universities
to learn more about how they address the various topics on campus.
In this week’s episode, Drew Johnson, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication
with a concentration in public communication and advocacy from East Stroudsburg University;
and Justin Leader, who received a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree
in exercise science from Cal U., will discuss how their degrees prepared them for
successful careers.
Stephanie Franks-Helwich, dean of Cal U.’s graduate admissions and Global Online programs,
also will participate in the discussion. Global Online offers students the opportunity
to enroll in courses and programs online, from virtually anywhere, at any time.
Each weekly episode of Infinite Opportunities is reshown at 6 p.m. the following Saturday
on PCN. This program will be rebroadcast on Jan. 13. Prior episodes, including those
from the first three seasons, also can be viewed at www.passhe.edu/InfiniteOpportunities.
