“Our community faces enormous challenges,” Krieger said in a statement, outlining why she’s running for Penn State Board of Trustees. “A pandemic and global inflation, growing climate-related risks, and an ever-changing job market. The way we react and adapt for the future will determine our university’s legacy. We can rise to the challenge and solidify Penn State’s status as a leader on the international stage. If we do nothing, we will fall behind our peers. That’s why we’re running for Penn State’s Board of Trustees.”
