Dr. Meghan Gillen was recently featured in the U.S. News & World Report article “6 Myths About the Freshmen 15.” Her work focuses on body image and health. She completed data collection for a study on early motherhood health involving moms with babies ages 0 - 12 months, and is now working on analyzing the data. She is also collaborating with two former students on a manuscript on behavioral inhibition, reward sensitivity, and body image.

U.S. News & World Report recently interviewed Meghan Gillen, a Penn State Abington eating and body-image researcher, about the feared "Freshman 15," or weight gain in first-year college students.
Penn State Abington Assistant Professor of English Thomas Heise's teaching, writing and scholarly work intersect on contemporary American literature, creative writing, city life and culture, and crime narratives.
The Penn State Abington community sent about 150 postcards with encouraging messages to children in Charlottsville, Va., last week. In the aftermath of the events that took place there recently, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Blue Ridge launched the #DearYoungPerson campaign to send messages of hope to children in the region. The postcard drive was cosponsored by the Penn State Abington Student Conduct Board and Residence Life.
