At a lab space off Porter Road, the Penn State Model Railway Club has built a 30-foot long cityscape layout featuring blue and white locomotives, buildings and crafted details that reflect its long ties to campus culture—founded in 1955 and on its sixth layout.
The club will host a spring open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 12-13 for visitors to view the display.
🎓 Education

🏈 Sports
Aiden Fink, a sophomore hockey player at Penn State from Calgary, was named a top-10 Hobey Baker Award finalist on March 19 after breaking school records for points, assists, and game-winning goals—he led the Big Ten in points per game and assists, and the award winner will be announced on April 11.
Former Penn State coach Ed DeChellis retired from Navy after 14 seasons; he coached at Penn State from 2004—11, earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors in 2009, and led the team to a 2011 NCAA Tournament appearance.
He announced his retirement on March 19th.
Bryce Molinaro led Penn State to a win over St. Bonaventure with a triple and a two-run single that drove in key runs.
Coach Gambino said Molinaro’s disciplined hitting and swift base running helped boost the team’s record (15-4 start) and set the stage for more wins.
Penn State women’s gymnastics will travel to Ann Arbor for the Big Ten Championships this weekend.
