DVD Follows the Prestigious Rise of Penn State University
Janson Media today announced the release of the DVD Raise the Song: the History of Penn State. This 60-minute documentary produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting (WPSU-TV) brings to life the people and events that have taken the Commonwealth"s land-grant university from its humble roots as the Farmers" High School to an internationally recognized pinnacle of scientific research, sports, academic achievement, agriculture and more.
&'RAISE THE SONG is an absolute treasure for anyone who has ever attended or had an interest in Penn State, and it tells the Penn State story in a way that will fascinate, entertain and inspire.&' - Graham Spanier, President, Penn State University
Since the charter of the Farmers" High School was adopted in 1855, America has seen 30 presidents, a civil war, the women"s suffrage movement, the Great Depression, two world wars, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and the September 11 terrorist attacks—but through it all, Penn State has become one of the world"s foremost teaching and research institutions, touching nearly every important era and event in American history.
Football fans will be pleased to see coverage of the Penn State Nittany Lions football team and its beloved longtimecoach, Joe Paterno. Viewers may be further inspired by the efforts of the largest student-run philanthropy in the world - the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON), whose mission is to conquer pediatric cancer.
Currently home to over 80,000 students, Penn State today offers more than 160 majors on its 24 campuses. For more information on this storied university please visit the Penn State website.
