Welcome to BenNovak.net

Thank you for your interest in Ben Novak’s campaign for Penn State Trustee.

Dr. Benjamin Novak, Esq.

Since his days as an undergraduate, when he became a brother at TKE, served as president of the student body, participated in several campus organizations and upon graduating in 1965, received the Outstanding Student award, Ben has dedicated his life to serving Penn State University. After earning his law degree from Georgetown and serving in Viet Nam, Ben spent two years in the early 1970s as the Assistant Dean of Students at Penn State. He has served as president of the Lion’s Paw Alumni Association and was recognized as an Outstanding Fraternity Advisor in 1994 for his efforts to rekindle alumni support for the Greek system. Concerned about the preservation of Happy Valley’s most treasured landmark, Ben founded and served as the first president of the Mt. Nittany Conservancy.  He was also elected to serve four consecutive terms as an alumni Trustee from 1988 to 2000.

Ben Novak loves Penn State.

And so today, as our alma mater suffers through her darkest days, Ben is again stepping forward to serve. In the wake of unspeakable tragedy, the hundreds of thousands of profoundly decent people who make up the Penn State family are sorting through anger, sadness and confusion. As someone who has devoted much of his personal life and career to advancing the Glory of Old State, Ben Novak wants to help them find answers to their questions.

As a candidate for Penn State Trustee, Ben wants to help fill the startling vacuum of real leadership afflicting the University, and he promises to unflinchingly challenge the status quo, champion long-needed reforms, communicate openly and proactively and defend the honor of the Paternos.
