Dear Parents and Family Members,
This is such an exciting time for our students and their families! Partnering for your student’s success is a vital component of their education. A student’s success depends on many factors, including their deep commitment and clear sense of purpose, a desire to take responsibility and make good choices, an openness to embrace new challenges, and support from the most important people in their lives.
At Penn State Hazleton, we value our partnership with our families. We cannot achieve our goals without your direct involvement and contribution. We want our students to experience the excitement of discovery in their academic and personal pursuits, to learn, grow, find their life’s purpose, and take responsibility for themselves and others.
A student’s success fundamentally depends on their own efforts and comes from within. Our campus commitment, reflected in the values of our institution, includes an engaged staff and faculty working together to provide services and programs with student success in mind. To achieve this, we encourage our students to take advantage of every opportunity offered to them. We want them to do so securely, feeling challenged by the experience but supported throughout.
As our students grow, so does their achievement. Supporting them together enhances their experience. Let us know how we can assist you. Reach out to us—we are happy to talk with you and want to hear about your experience at Penn State. With all of us working together, our students will have every opportunity to succeed.
Sincerely,
Tracy L. Garnick
Director of Student Services and Engagement
