Class of 2014

Friday Penn State Behrend first-year students will arrive on campus.

Born in the 1992, here are a few things that a study by Beloit College helps to summarize the students' mindset:


  • Email is just too slow, and they seldom if ever use snail mail.
  • Doctor Kevorkian has never been licensed to practice medicine.
  • Colorful lapel ribbons have always been worn to indicate support for a cause.
  • Leno and Letterman have always been trading insults on opposing networks.
  • The first computer they probably touched was an Apple II; it is now in a museum.
  • There have always been HIV positive athletes in the Olympics.
  • They have never worried about a Russian missile strike on the U.S.

There are 75 line items about the incoming freshmen class. Beloit College has been doing this report since 1998, so you can go back and read all those facts too.
