Harrisburg – Students attending Indiana and Kutztown Universities of Pennsylvania will talk about how participating in campus clubs and organizations helps them succeed in the classroom on this week’s episode of Infinite Opportunities, which will air Sunday morning on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN).
Dillon Hagy, a U.S. Army veteran studying entrepreneurship and small business at IUP;
and Patrick Moyer, a communications studies major at Kutztown, will be joined on the
show by Shawn Hoke, assistant vice president for student affairs at Clarion University
of Pennsylvania. The show also will include video visits to the campuses of Kutztown,
Millersville and Slippery Rock Universities of Pennsylvania.
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 all of the campuses.
This week’s roundtable discussion will focus on the many out-of-class activities students
can participate in while enrolled at any of the State System universities. Hagy will
talk about the military philanthropic organization he started at IUP to help support
his fellow veterans. Moyer, who is active in several clubs and organizations at Kutztown,
will discuss some of the special skills he has learned from his involvement on campus.
Hoke will talk about why it is important for students to be involved in campus activities,
especially during their freshman year as they acclimate to college.
Each weekly episode of Infinite Opportunities is reshown at 6 p.m. the following Saturday on PCN. This program will be rebroadcast
on Feb. 24. Prior episodes, including those from the first three seasons, also can
be viewed at www.passhe.edu/InfiniteOpportunities.
