Pasco L. Schiavo, one of the largest benefactors in Penn State Hazleton’s history, passed away Dec. 29, 2018. His involvement with the campus spanned more than 50 years and included roles as a donor, president and member of the campus advisory board, advocate and instructor.

“Pasco’s involvement with Penn State Hazleton and his passion for education cannot be stated enough. His financial contributions have enabled us to make a Penn State Hazleton education possible for numerous students,” Chancellor Gary Lawler said. “He was always willing to lend his expertise when needed and was supportive of so many groups throughout our area. He will be greatly missed.”
