The Engagement Space is a state-of-the-art project that recognizes the complex integration required across a large institution that spans the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including students enrolled in World Campus.

 

The Student Engagement Platform will be widely distributed to meet the needs of Penn State students world-wide and will need to reach users on different platforms. Penn State seeks to develop a multi-tiered system that includes a website, a mobile platform, an onsite space (a space in the HUB-Robeson Center) at University Park, as well as a physical space at all Commonwealth Campus locations.
