“100 Years: Penn State Wilkes-Barre, 1916-2016,” is now on display in the Art Gallery in the Academic Commons building at Penn State Wilkes-Barre.

Jennie Knies, Head Librarian, and Megan Mac Gregor, Student Engagement and Outreach Librarian, collaborated on the exhibit, which will remain in the gallery through the fall semester. A virtual, online version of the exhibit is available for viewing via Prezi.
