News: 

  • The Lions handed Indiana a loss last week with a 45-14 win on the road.  Moving up to 14th in the national rankings this week.
  • Upcoming golf tournament to fundraiser for our local charities and THON.  We need help getting prizes and hole sponsors, a flier for the event, arranging and creating hole sponsor signs.  Day of help for raffles, registration, etc.  Most importantly we need 64 golfers to participate in the outing!  See Rick Stirone or Dave McClellan at the next watch party.
  • Starting in July, Association membership at the local and University level will be combined. This is a significant change that will make it easier for alumni to connect with the Penn State community when and where they want. 
  • It also means that, moving forward, Alumni Association members will no longer pay separate dues to their local chapter—instead, access to our local chapter, as well as all other chartered affiliate groups, will be included as a core benefit with your Penn State Alumni Association membership.  
  • I encourage you to visit alumni.psu.edu/fullaccess for FAQs and to learn more about how bringing together chapter and Alumni Association membership will benefit the Penn State family. Feel free to contact our chapter leadership if you have additional questions. 

We Are…
