Heard on campus – Franklin and the Junto
Penn State Harrisburg faculty member and Benjamin Franklin scholar George Boudreau terms his recent discovery of a long-lost poem written in 1732 as “one of the greatest finds of my career.”
An associate professor of humanities and history, Boudreau’s research interests focus on Franklin and his philosophical organization called the Junto and the role it played in the cultural transformation of Philadelphia in the 1700s. Boudreau recently related his research findings during a Gallery Lounge presentation hosted by the offices of Academic Affairs and Research and Graduate Studies.

A unique and powerful art exhibit addressing the Holocaust by acclaimed Israeli artist Ardyn Halter will be on public display in the Schwab Family Holocaust Reading Room of Penn State Harrisburg’s library November 15 through April 15.
