Virtual Events with the Penn State Alumni Association
The Penn State Alumni Association continues to offer a wide range of virtual events designed to keep Nittany Lions connected no matter where they live. From professional development webinars and networking sessions to alumni panels, social meetups, and lifelong‑learning programs, there’s something for every Penn Stater looking to stay engaged from home.
These events are open to all alumni and are a great way to build community, learn something new, and connect with fellow Lions across the country. Check out the latest offerings on the PSAA website and join in whenever it fits your schedule — staying involved has never been easier. Here is the calendar of upcoming events.
Support our Scholarship for Future PSU Students
Each year we raise funds for a scholarship that is awarded to a local PSU student. This past year was no exception. We were able to award $3000 to two deserving students this year. We’d love to award more next year! The scholarships are funded from 50/50 takes at game watches, sales of t-shirts and hats, and direct donations. Please email pennstateseattle@gmail.com or speak to a board member if you’d like to donate or purchase t-shirts and/or hats.
