Negron-Garcia, a communications studies major at Kutztown, will be joined on the show by Jeff Jones, the university’s director of admissions; and John Snyder, associate director of career education and development at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.

The show also will include video visits to the campuses of California, East Stroudsburg and Edinboro Universities of Pennsylvania, as it answers the question: “What’s My Future?”

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 moderates the weekly discussions. Each program also offers viewers the opportunity to “travel” back to the universities to learn more about how they address the various topics on campus.

This week Negron-Garcia will talk about how he decided to attend Kutztown University, and will offer advice to high school students who are ready to begin their own college search. Jones and Snyder will discuss what students should be thinking about when deciding both what and where they want to study. They also will talk about the kinds of majors their schools offer, and the resources both universities offer to assist students in choosing an area of study.

Each weekly episode of Infinite Opportunities is reshown at 6 p.m. the following Saturday on PCN. This program will be rebroadcast on Jan. 20. Prior episodes, including those from the first three seasons, also can be viewed at www.passhe.edu/InfiniteOpportunities.
