Twenty-four students from the United States and European Union, including students from Penn State Lehigh Valley, spent two weeks conducting and presenting research around sustainability issues affecting the Danube River Delta in Romania as part of Penn State’s CHANCE Program.
For 24 college students, the Danube Delta served as both a classroom and field laboratory for two weeks over the summer. The students — selected from Penn State and nations throughout the European Union — were in Romania as part of the Penn State Connecting Humans and Nature Through Conservation Experiences Program.
The data chart above shows a reversing trend in the cost of college textbooks due to wider usage of open-source materials, which are available at low- or no-cost to students.
Larry Musolino, assistant teaching professor, mathematics, at Penn State Lehigh Valley has worked on several textbooks created by OpenStax, a leading supplier of open-educational resources that produce more affordable, accessible alternatives to traditional college textbooks.
