UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Andrea Tapia, dean of the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) was among the rappelers at Penn State’s Over The Edge at Beaver Stadium event on October 8. Each “edger” had to meet a $1,500 threshold to participate, and Dean Tapia represented IST’s donation of more than $2,500 as she journeyed 110 feet down the south side of the stadium.
“I felt like a well-supported THON dancer,” she said. “Thank you, IST cheer team — I was so honored and delighted to do this silly/scary/ridiculous thing.”
The popular fundraiser supports the annual Penn State United Way Campaign, providing resources and services to more than 53,000 county residents through the Centre County United Way.
