Engagement Space at University Park

From the classroom to the world!

The Engagement Space is a state-of-the-art project that recognizes the complex integration required across a large institution that spans the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including students enrolled in World Campus.

The SEN has created a central hub for student engagement located in the heart of the University Park campus, in the HUB-Robeson Center. This space is meant to inspire the development of other physical engagement hubs at all Commonwealth Campus locations.
