“Right now we want to attract people to the county, so that we can really maximize this growth that we’re anticipating.”

Those words, from Penn State Beaver Chancellor Dr. Jen Cushman, summarizes the attitude that she and her colleagues are taking towards solidifying a strong future for Beaver County. She joined Matt Drzik on the February 21 edition of A.M. Beaver County as part of Beaver County Radio’s celebration of President’s Day with local leaders.

Cushman joined Penn State Beaver as Chancellor in 2016, and since then she’s put an emphasis on the growth of education at the Monaca campus, with a focus towards inspiring those who come to Beaver County for an education to build their future career and successes in the area as well. PSB has been a part of the “Bridges & Pathways” coalition with CCBC, Geneva College, and Robert Morris since 2017, and it has allowed for local students in higher education to have more avenues to access their next path and next steps in building their own future.
