Top pictures from the 2024 Penn State Today fall photo contest
The winning picture in the 2024 Penn State Today fall photo contest was submitted by Jordan DeLauer, an undergraduate student at Penn State Behrend. The submitted caption reads: "Eastern chipmunks, like this one grabbing lunch on one of Behrend campus' millstones, can be seen everywhere on campus during the fall as they scurry around collecting nuts for the winter. The millstones outside of Behrend's Glenhill Farmhouse are a treasure leftover from when Behrend was once the farm estate of the Behrend Family, donated by Mary Behrend. Penn State's famous oval logo featuring the Nittany Lion is also often referred to as 'The Chipmunk logo' because of Lion's cheeks. One of the reasons I chose Penn State Behrend was because of its gorgeous campus. My goal in capturing photos of the wildlife around campus is to help remind people of our close connection to the animals that we share our campus with. I also like to point out the care and attention our groundskeepers put into keeping our campus beautiful and how this allows for students to get outside more easily between classes."
