Penn State Altoona's University Jazz Band will perform at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec.14, in the Wolf Kuhn Theatre of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. Musical selections in a variety of contemporary big band styles will be performed.

Students can come with a group of friends or by themselves for some creative artmaking to help calm stress, practice mindfulness, or just have fun.

The program is open to anyone in need of a safe space to walk through the grief process.

Dr. Nicholas Rowland, distinguished professor of sociology at Penn State Altoona, will offer the commencement address.
