Multicultural student-run media site “The Underground” is conceived

February 11, 2015

The idea of The Underground, a multicultural student-run media site devoted to telling the untold stories within the Penn State community, is first discussed after a presentation from CNN’s Soledad O’Brien on the Penn State University Park campus. Freshmen Candice Crutchfield and Adriana Lacy came up with the idea. After discussion with other students, the website (psuunderground.com) was created. The first contributors included a small group of friends: Candice Crutchfield, Adriana Lacy, Matthew Lamas, and Adam Tidball.
