Welcome to the Winter issue of Plymouth Magazine, the first exclusively online issue. Through technology, we can bring you links and videos that allow you to participate more richly in this energetic and joyous community of which you are an important part.

In this issue, for example, you will learn of friends, Dick and Betty Hanaway, who are supporting PSU in our commitment to making an impact in the community by creating the largest planned gift PSU has ever received. Of students, sisters Zara ’16 and Sunny Jakubas ’18, who live PSU’s philosophy of the excellent student-athlete. Of an alumnus, Patrick Selmer ’12G, whose innovative work with NASA will provide data for an understanding of climate change and our collective future. Of a faculty member, Ann McClellan, whose use of digital media enhances students’ understanding and creativity.

I hope that you will let us know what you most liked and what you would like to learn more about. Please help us as we shape Plymouth Magazine for you.
