1640436798777114624 For many of us @DailyCollegian alums who are disappointed in the recent news that PSU plans to cut funding to our beloved newspaper, there are a few ways to help (even in small ways!) Here is a donation link that will go to the Collegian's general fund: https://t.co/eDpuA6IJlW 13

1640357512259198978 If you're a fellow alum of @DailyCollegian, a Penn State grad or just a supporter of student journalism, please ask PSU president Neeli Bendapudi to reconsider this drastic, crippling reduction in funding. https://t.co/kR2Pf3vFcG 11
1639271947266662401 A Little Life Announcement: I’m blessed to share I’ll be the next manager of @DailyCollegian’s Business Division. This is an opportunity to serve in a special way — I’m nothing short of thankful. Let’s get to work 🙌🏽 6

1640163344274391040 I wouldn’t be where I am today without the @DailyCollegian, but this isn’t about me or the countless people I can call friends for life because of this outlet.

1640455818083553281 Such drastic cuts would be horribly disappointing. Nothing in my career has been more valuable than actually learning by doing at the @DailyCollegian. It was truly essential to my college experience, and I know generations of Penn State communications grads agree. https://t.co/fyvKt5gbEM 4
1640359240039628800 Hey pals, I hope that you will consider reading this and consider supporting the @DailyCollegian in this battle. These cuts are ridiculous. These cuts are unjust and most of all, will have direct impact on the future of Penn State students and journalism in the Centre Region. https://t.co/eaaL8S463u 4
