In this episode of the Iron Sharpens Iron Movement, Jim Hotaling interviews Dr. Kevin Snider. Dr. Snider is responsible for the New Kensington campus, which is one of 19 campuses in the Penn State system. In addition to on-campus accomplishments, he has been very involved in innovation and community engagement. Over the past 12 years, he led and helped create a regional association of five local municipalities to work on collaborative economic development (WEDIG), worked with superintendents to develop a collaborative and integrated STEM program across grades and 13 school districts (ABC/Create), built an Entrepreneurial Center and Co-working space in New Kensington to revitalize rust belt towns through innovation and creativity. Dr. Snider is now working with partners in industry, local government, associations, and school districts to develop skills and the innovative entrepreneurial mindset students and communities will need to thrive in the next industrial age. We hope to make New Kensington a learning living laboratory that helps the rust belt ride the wave of the next industrial revolution and revitalize the region!
