PSU Venture Center Programs

The PSU Venture Center is an experiential education based program that serves as a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Workshops and trainings are designed to encourage personal empowerment, goal achievement, group support and risk-taking by moving individuals and teams beyond their own expectations. Based on a challenge-by-choice philosophy, all activities are voluntary, empowering each person to perform to her or his potential, securely and without pressure. Participants will be challenged to overcome their perceived boundaries and expand their comfort zones, opening themselves up to new possibilities.
