PAST EVENTS

Pop Up Events

We've had a lot of success with events that we announce with little notice.  While not completely unplanned they are more spontaneous and allow us to try new things.  We've held Pop Up Events at:

Blue & White Game

April | State College, PA

This is a family friendly game that is typically free to enter and has in the past had a carnival type atmosphere.  In addition to the game, there is a Run/Walk Race to benefit Special Olympics that is held on Sunday.  Participants "Finish on the 50".  Franko Harris and Sue Paterno usually oversee the event with Franko giving high 5's to kids as they enter the tunnel at Beaver Stadium.

Alumni Leadership Connections Conference

July 13 - 16 | State College, PA

This conference is designed to provide attendees with information that they need to successfully lead our alumni affiliate groups while also connecting with and learning from each other.
