Menah's Moments is a bi-weekly feature highlighting the experiences of Penn State Regional Chancellor Menah Pratt, who oversees Penn State's Hazleton, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre campuses.
As chancellor, spending time talking to students is a priority for Dr. Pratt. Here she poses with some Penn State Scranton students and their stuffed animal creations at the campus' Stuff A Plush event.
While exploring Penn State Wilkes-Barre's Hayfield House, Regional Chancellor Menah Pratt came across this mural of The Revolt, one of the campus' early student newspapers.
Wanting to learn more about northeastern Pennsylvania's history, Chancellor Menah Pratt went on the Lackawanna County Coal Mine Tour and visited the Anthracite Heritage Museum one weekend.
Penn State Regional Chancellor Menah Pratt speaks at the Wilkes-Barre campus, highlighting a piece of art on loan from the Hazleton Art League. The piece, "Immortal Splendor" by Gary Jones, is an artistic rendering of a quote: "There in immortal splendor Wilkes-Barre will remain." It was inspired by Frederick Douglass' response to an 1853 incident in Wilkes-Barre involving William Thomas, who had escaped from slavery and sought freedom in Wilkes-Barre.
