Samantha PrinceJanuary 2022 — Professor Samantha J. Prince has received commendation from Penn State University for creating free open-source materials for her Entrepreneurship Law: Company Creation course through a grant received from the Affordable Course Transformation at Penn State (ACT@PSU ) program. The Affordable Course Transformation is a grant-based, affordable course transformation program for faculty teaching at all Penn State locations who wish to transform a course to displace high cost published materials.

Professor Prince was commended for the "time, talent, and expertise that she dedicated to creating dynamic, relevant, and engaging open and affordable course materials that demonstrates her commitment to ensure her students have the opportunity to access a high-quality educational experience," which aligns with the One Penn State 2025 Vision.

ACT@PSU is a provost-funded grant program designed to expand access to higher education through affordable course materials by developing openly licensed course materials that have the potential to break down barriers of affordability and accessibility not only for students in our Penn State Community, but also for students throughout the world.
