She was a broadcast journalism graduate and played for the Lady Lion basketball team. Since her time at Penn State, Salters has gone on to work for ABC Sports and ESPN as a broadcaster.
Salters will recount her time at Penn State and how it led her to become a successful television personality. Her speech is free to the public and attendees may enjoy refreshments.
Daisey is scheduled for his speech on Feb. 23 at Noon. He is the founder of www.blackhistory.psu.edu, will speak about his research of the "Penn State University African American Chronicles."

This past September, Daisey along with the Educational Equity Department and WPSU, sponsored www.blackhistory.psu.edu. The website includes a chronology, photos, video interviews, historical documents, news footage and more.
