Get up and go: President Obama to visit Penn State

In the State College area or a student at Penn State? Try your luck and catch a glimpse of the president!

Obama is scheduled to visit the Pennsylvania State University on Wednesday, February 2, to focus on energy efficiency. The announcement was made during a White House conference call to media Friday afternoon.

According to Penn State Live, Obama will stop by the main campus at University Park to highlight the work being conducted at the Energy Innovation Hub in Philadelphia. The project, which will receive more than $129 million in federal funds over the next five years, is being lead by Penn State researchers.

Obama recently mentioned the importance of clean energy technology for creating jobs and protecting the planet in his State of the Union address.

In addition to touring the university's labs, StateCollege.com noted that Obama's visit to Penn State will include an invitation-only talk at Rec Hall. Reportedly, he will deliver remarks on clean energy and its role in innovation, job creation, and the future of the United States at 12:15 p.m.

This is the president's first trip back to Penn State since campaigning for the election in 2008.

UPDATE: President Obama's visit to Penn State has been postponed due to inclement weather. "The important to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Preparation and spending our travel budget properly is a concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!..". His visit has been rescheduled to Thursday, February, 3.
