UNIVERSITY NEWS
The plan for 2020–25 that the IUP Council of Trustees backed Thursday focuses on being student centered, furthering IUP’s doctoral research mission, and embracing diversity and inclusion.
At its quarterly meeting Thursday, the IUP Council of Trustees approved acquisition of a building along West Mahoning Street in Punxsutawney for expansion of the IUP Academy of Culinary Arts.
Because declining enrollment continues to affect the IUP Libraries’ acquisitions budget, the library will have some reductions in informational resources available through its databases web page. Many library users will notice limited impact on their search strategies.
Bryan Moore ’07, director of Public Markets at the South Carolina Retirement System Investment Commission, recently spoke with an IUP Finance Seminar class via Zoom. He discussed his work and the characteristics of a good employee and gave the students career advice.
FOR STUDENTS AND ADVISORS

ACADEMIC TIP
Self-Care: As you wrap up the semester, make time for self-care. It means actively protecting your own well-being and happiness, particularly during times of stress. Taking breaks and caring for yourself help restore energy, produce positive feelings, and boost your confidence. Practicing self-care reminds you and others that your needs, too, are important.
