Barron highlights transformative experiences through digital innovation

Penn State President Eric J. Barron outlined the University’s progress creating transformative experiences for students through digital innovation to the Board of Trustees at its Friday (Feb. 23) meeting at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center.

As a foundation in Penn State’s Strategic Plan, the University is committed to driving digital innovation by preparing students for success in the digital age and using technology to foster economic opportunities in communities across Pennsylvania and beyond.

“Digital innovation is happening faster than ever and technology is transforming our lives, as well as our classrooms,” said Barron. “The classroom of tomorrow has not yet been imagined, and the big question is whether Penn State is going to lead or follow. We have a head start through the World Campus and hybrid classrooms, but we need to find ways to do even more to create innovative learning environments that empower students outside the classroom and create lifelong learners who are resilient in an ever-changing job market.”
