Time capsule placed in Bellisario Media Center focuses on people
December 04, 2020
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A time capsule placed this week in the Bellisario Media Center largely focuses on one aspect of the Penn State community: its people.
The sealed metal box, slightly larger than a typical automobile battery, was packed with a variety of materials and publications, including recent copies of The Daily Collegian, a Penn Stater magazine from the Penn State Alumni Association, and annual reports from the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications. The capsule also includes a commencement program from the spring and samples of Penn State-branded masks and hand sanitizer that were handed out to all students, faculty and staff during the fall semester.
