Penn State Great Valley’s MNGMT 897 Global Immersion course trip to Strasbourg, France, took a while to get off the ground — literally. The course was first offered in spring 2020, but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the international travel component was canceled just three days before the class was set to leave the United States. Three years later, Great Valley was able to hold the course with a successful trip abroad.
Kathryn Jablokow, professor of engineering design and mechanical engineering, recently received a prestigious National Science Foundation Director’s Award as part of the team that created the Engineering Research Initiation program.
The ceremony recognized graduates from the 2021-22 academic years as well as from 2019-20, when graduates were unable to have an in-person commencement.
The Great Valley LaunchBox program has given students Nimisha Benoy and Utkarsh Singh hands-on experience with navigating the problems that startups face.

Despite a nine-and-a-half hour time difference, Penn State Great Valley engineering management graduate students Kajoo Patel and Aditya Singh attended their virtual synchronous courses from their homes in India during the spring II term.
Ashkan Negahban, assistant professor of engineering management, and Satish Srinivasan, assistant professor of information science, will lead projects that help address the COVID-19 crisis, thanks to seed grants from the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences.
