As Penn State Football opens its Big Ten Conference schedule this week, fans watching from home can view a new TV commercial that highlights the positive impact Big Ten universities make beyond the playing field.
The commercial, titled "We Are Here," will air alongside the conference's fan-favorite "Maps" ad. The new spot focuses on how Big Ten universities - including Penn State - make America healthier, safer and more prosperous through everything from discovering new medical treatments to developing healthier foods to driving economic growth.
"We Are Here" was developed by a creative team made up of staff from Big Ten member universities, with two members of Penn State's Office of Strategic Communications serving as co-creative director and motion designer. It is the first in a planned series of three commercials, which over the course of the series will feature footage from all 18 Big Ten universities.
Watch the commercial by clicking the picture above or on the Big Ten Conference YouTube channel.
