My wife is an Internet celebrity! (well, in State College, at least)
Penn State ‘Catch-22’ read-a-thon aims to spotlight school’s academics:
Reed and comparative literature professor Eric Hayot thought of the read-a-thon after NCAA’s sanctions against Penn State and its football program. The university was punished after four administrators were accused of enabling convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky.Upset that the “university had been reduced to football” by national reports, they decided to stage a public event highlighting Penn State’s academic prowess, Hayot said.“Look, this is a place where literature gets written,” he said. “This is a place where literature is discussed.”
More than football folks.
…and my wife got to be a part of this thing! How cool is that?
