This fund was established by Dr. Gerald Stein to honor his wife, Sylvia. She was an active member of the State College community and was known for her energy, creativity, and commitment to the welfare and rights of others. Her work at Penn State and the Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium, where she served as the director, centered on science and technology. Distributions from the fund are made to the State College Area School District to support instructional day activities, curricular experiences, and related classroom enhancements.
