Patrick Marty, the college's chief government and international relations officer, and Michael Stefan, a Penn State administrator and member of the Pennsylvania College of Technology Board of Directors, are among the leaders named to The 2024 Trailblazers in Higher Education list, released Tuesday by City & State PA.

"This is a challenging moment for academia, with enrollment broadly in decline, costs escalating and political tensions inflaming campuses," the editors wrote. "Yet the value of a degree remains strong – and the commonwealth’s much-lauded universities are collectively engines of social justice, economic mobility and transformative research. The leaders in City & State’s 2024 Higher Education Trailblazers are responsible for this enduring legacy."
