Kate Gosselin, Reality TV mom of of twins and sextuplets, will speak in the Maggie Hardy Magerko Auditorium at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus. This event will be on Thursday, Nov 3rd, at noon.

Imperfect Women spoke to Chad Long, Assistant Director of Student Affairs and an advisor to the Student Activities Committee (SAC) which was the committee responsible for booking Kate Gosselin. The SAC plans, coordinates, and implements comprehensive educational and social programming for students throughout the year.

Mr. Long said the students are very excited about Kate speaking at this event and are looking forward to it. He also shared that 95 percent of the people he has talked to regarding this event are very positive about the choice of guest speaker and that he has only received two or three negative calls.

Mr. Long said that Kate Gosselin will be talking about “resiliency”. He stated, “Students need to hear from someone who has been handed tough situations is life such as having eight young children and going through a divorce and the aftermath of that divorce which included the hounding of the paparazzi. They need to see how this person could have crawled in a hole but chose to move on and set an example.”

Long mentioned that both Matt Roloff and Hillary Clinton have spoken at the Penn State Fayette campus.

There will be a meet and greet following Kate’s talk.

The auditorium seats 500 but because of the popularity of the event, those interested in attending must make a reservation by calling 724-430-4248. First and last names in addition to your phone number is required for a reservation. Tickets are still available.

    I hope Kate has a great time, adult young students are a fun crowd and can appreciate Mother’s who are raising kids these days. Many degrees today are in early child development.
    Maybe a business major would like to know how expensive it is to raise 8 kids. The list could go on and on.

    Been super busy, so hope all is well with everyone. 🙂

    Is this the same campus Jon spoke a few years back? That was BD (before Deanna). They loved him, they’ll prob love Kate too. I have read that some haters are going to show up. I can’t get over how stupid that would be. Why on earth would you go and waste your time on someone you don’t like?

  3. Pam@IW says

    Lily, I don’t think it is. Penn State appears to have a lot of satellite campuses. They did have Hillary Clinton here though back in 08.

    The haters who do go ~ will have all kinds of scenarios to post about that supposedly were said and done~ but it will be far from the real truth.

    Jon spoke to college students??? What did he say? “Like wassup dudes? So like I was all chill at my country house and wanted to hang with my peeps in the city so i crossed the GW and BAM! I’m hanging with my friends!” DId he have a feed in his ear with someone behind the scenes telling him what to say? He is so inarticulate I can’t imagine what he would have to say to a group of people…..LOL LOL

    It was quite a few years ago and we actually had video of it up on our old site, GDNNOP. IMO, I thought he did well. It was back before the divorce.

  7. Kmom2` says

    November 2, 2011 at 9:27 am

    WOw….well I’m glad to hear he did well. I wonder what happened because he can barely put together sentences now.

    Good for Kate. Glad to hear that the students are excited she is coming to speak. I wonder if the two or three negative calls he received were from haters.
    .
    Long’s statement “They need to see how this person could have crawled in a hole but chose to move on and set an example” is exactly why I admire Kate. All the public humiliation Jon put her through would definitely make most hide from the world.

    “Resiliency” – I love the topic and think Kate is well suited to speak about it.
    .
    Only two or three negative calls, haters? Some of you are falling down on your “job.” I guess when you have your ass planted on Twitter 24/7 making a phone call seems like an inconceivable chore – kind of like bathing and the like.

    E! is reporting that Kate will be blogging for Coupon Cabin

    Penn State has many satellite campuses.

    In case you didn’t realize it, this site qualifies as an anti-Jon site, since you have post after post bashing him for no reason. Stop being so bitter and move on, please. At least Jon’s not begging on his twitter 24/7. He has a life and a good job – a job that is better than Kate’s.

    Remember how Kate tried to bash him with the “mediocre” comment? Well, blogging about coupons its that bill. Not Jon’s job.

    PS, ‘Team Jon’…’mediocre’ is NOT a slam…I’d like to believe that is coming from someone who KNOWS & BELIEVES Jon is capable of doing far greater things w. his talents than what he seems to settle for. Unfortunately, w. today’s economy, following one’s dreams is NOT an option. Especially when there are 8 mouths to feed etc. Personally I don’t find ‘Teams’ useful…unless of course, you know of what you speak from a personal relationship.

    TeamJonand8 or whoever you are today,

    A post is a blog post. A main post. A comment is a comment. We do not have post after post bashing Jon on this site. I had to go back 11 main posts to September 8th to find a post about Jon and that was only because he did a publicity video which of course was relevant to the discussion in the “Gosselin Chatter” category.
    .
    Then I had to go back to April 1st to find the next post that we did about Jon. Yes we sure have post after post about Jon.

    Looks like Kate’s speaking engagement went well according to her Twitter account.

    Someone there tweeted her this:
    BlakeHerrilko Blakeley Herrilko
    Ahhhh @kateplusmy8 you were so sweet to stay & meet everyone! You’re so gorgeous in person! Thank you 🙂

    Looks like Kate helped out one of her followers on Twitter:

    Holly Gately
    Holly825 Holly Gately
    Someone very nice did something very nice for Rory. I will pay if forward for her somehow. Thanks @Kateplusmy8.

    Blake was asked if there were “lots of empty seats”? She answered not many.

  21. HB says

    November 3, 2011 at 2:52 pm

    Blake was also asked ‘if Steve was with her’…did I understand her answer to be ‘yes’? This happy gal went w. her mother, & guess which career haters attacked her…w. I suppose Kate’s church people just couldn’t make it (sic).

  22. GeeWhiz says

    November 3, 2011 at 3:38 pm

    Pam/HB – Did either of you save the tweet asking if there were “lots of empty seats”? The hater deleted her tweet and is now tweeting that Blake said there were many empty seats. These lying women are so disgusting.

    November 3, 2011 at 4:28 pm

    Cracks me up! I don’t care for Lindsay Lohan and I would no more waste my time tweeting questions and/or comments about and to her than I would rise and fly away! These haters are owned by Kate!

    pam #17, i go to several scrapbooking message boards and there comments or replies are referred to as posts and what you are calling posts are referred to as threads. so if i ever say posts here please know i mean comments or replies. lol 😉

  25. Pam@IW says

    November 3, 2011 at 5:32 pm

    kimmie, google blog post and see what is says. 😉

    I would love know what Jon’s “good job – a job that is better than Kate’s” is .. If he does, I sure hope he is paying more child support!

  27. Ann@IW says

    November 3, 2011 at 5:41 pm

    kimmie, I use the term post and comment interchangeably too, but Pam is right: the post is the blog entry and comments are comments.
    .
    This is obviously not an anti-Jon site. Jon’s fans like TeamJonand8 are welcome to comment here. He is criticized in comments and (less often) he is defended. Many contributors here commend Jon when he does something right like dress well or get a job.

  28. Ann@IW says

    I never heard of this campus of Penn State, and I pay tuition there!

  29. Pam@IW says

    November 3, 2011 at 5:54 pm

    I guess I read those tweets wrong and that student was saying that there were “kind of” lots of empty seats.

  30. Herky says

    November 3, 2011 at 6:40 pm

    Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus is located in southwestern Pennsylvania. There are 20 commonwealth campuses in the system. That might be why you never heard of it Ann since there are so many 🙂

    Here’s something interesting that some of us believed to be true. Kate replied to a tweet regarding a Perez Hilton story about the two G kids who were home schooled for awhile.
    /
    Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin
    RT @_JustJenna_ @Kateplusmy8 what part of this is true? perezhilton.com/tag/collin_gos… 0 EXCEPT LETTR-WAS ONLY SENT 2 PARENTS&MADE PUBLIC BY ?-NOT ME!
    /
    So, Jon sold out the kids. Yes, he made $s off the problems his kids were having at school. All to get at their mother and to put $s in his pocket.

  32. Kmom2 says

    November 4, 2011 at 7:46 am

    Isn’t that something? Yep, Lily, and we supporters of Kate are “bad people”. Go figure!
