Dear Old State, it's Throwback Thursday! Did you know that In 1934, Penn State established an Undergraduate Center in Uniontown that provided the first two years of a college education to area residents who were “location bound” and/or unable to afford studies at the University Park campus? This center closed in 1940 as the nation focused on the impending war. However, Penn State returned to southwestern Pennsylvania with undergraduate educational programming on June 1, 1965, throughout downtown buildings in Uniontown to serve the residents of Fayette, Greene, Somerset, Washington, and Westmoreland counties. Photographed here is one of the downtown classes in front of the Central School Building!
