Programs for Students
Get involved in High Impact Learning to explore your interests and discover your passions.
The Center for Transformation has supported the development and the high impact learning experiences of 165 students this semester. We are incredibly proud of the positive impact they have throughout our broader community!
We invite all students to stop by the Center in Lamson Library, room 003, to engage in programs designed to help understand and exercise personal and professional strengths.
“Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.”
-Marianne Williamson

Peer educators who have developed referral skills can contribute significantly to building success for students by directing them to appropriate campus resources and professionals.

Opportunities for Faculty and Staff
Faculty Round Tables
We are in the process of attending faculty department meetings to discuss the roles of each member of the Center for Transformation and to solicit topics for an upcoming series of teaching & learning round tables. These faculty guided round tables will be open to all members of the PSU community and will be held bi-weekly in the CFT starting in the spring semester. We will cover a variety of topics based on faculty need and interest. To help keep everyone energized and happy, coffee and tea will be provided, feel free to bring a snack to share.
Speaker Series
To help inform, guide and energize PSU’s transformation, we will be hosting a monthly speaker series. The series will begin in January and continue through the spring semester and beyond. Drawing both from within the PSU community and without we will invite speakers who are both informative and engaging. These speakers will discuss topics of immediate interest such as student retention, student engagement, and leadership models as well as broader areas of concern like open education and accessibility.
Save the Date!
