Description:

Denbow reflects on his upbringing, studying journalism, a stint in the Army, and his first job at Penn State University.

He describes the many challenges facing MSU as it attempts to stay true to its land grant mission and laments disinvestment in the state college system and suggests that research institutions play critical roles in solving current and future problems.
