In 2012 I wrote a first year seminar book titled A Student Guide to Success at Penn State (described below).  Later that year I collaborated with IST’s Dr. Lisa Lenze to insert a chapter introducing the College of IST.  This chapter (linked here as PDF: IST_Chapter) introduces the College of IST to new organizations and individuals.

Description:  A Student Guide to Success at Penn State

[Book available in the University Park bookstore and Amazon]

U.S. News and World Report ranks Penn State among the top-fifteen public universities nationally. Researchers Matthew and Howard Greene label Penn State a “Public Ivy,” due to its academic rigor, superstar faculty, and talented students of all races. Penn State enrolls over seventy thousand undergraduates in twenty campuses, including fifteen thousand first-year students that begin each year. Student Guide transitions new students to success in the competitive Penn State classrooms, including note taking and time management skills, as well as student activities and support resources. Students are also provided career entrance strategies, including interview and resume preparation suggestions. The college years go by surprisingly fast. With this book, Dr. Glantz–an award winning member of the Penn State faculty–helps students make each moment more valuable. This is beneficial advice, especially in challenging economic times.
