“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.”
Krieger is excited to create change at Penn State
