I had the opportunity to spend some time at Penn State for the past few days. I was able to meet and spend some class time with students that are in the Presidential Leadership Academy (PLA) here at Penn State. Melissa Doberstein is the Director of the PLA and has worked at Penn State since 2002. Melissa and I met originally when we worked together in Residence Life. Melissa provides information on how PLA originally got started, what the goals of the program are, how it has grown, and some of the things that the program plans to offer in the future.
