Chancellor's Welcome

Greetings from Regional Chancellor Dr. Megan L. Nagel

Megan Nagel sitting at the Lion Shrine.

Welcome to Penn State Fayette New Kensington! As a Penn State alumna, I know from experience what incredible opportunities await you at the University. A Penn State degree is widely recognized, and our alumni network—vast and strong—will benefit you as you seek internships and start your career.

Beginning your college experience at the New Kensington campus will position you for success. Our size and location allow for meaningful ways to build connections with peers, faculty, staff, and the broader community. Every student is supported by a dedicated advisor, faculty who will know you by name, and access to support services. You can participate in clubs and athletics, while our proximity to Pittsburgh provides access to sports, culture, and entertainment occurring in the city and throughout the region.

Our campus will also prepare you for success in the digital age. No matter your major, Penn State New Kensington will ensure you develop future-ready skills such as communication, critical thinking, collaboration, innovation, and creativity. Our G.R.E.A.T. Program links students with area employers during their first year, giving you real-world experiences outside of the classroom. The Digital Foundry at New Kensington, an innovation and manufacturing lab aimed at building future-ready skills, is open for all students to explore and learn about digital technologies.

I look forward to welcoming you to campus soon!
