In late July, the Alumni Association presented its 2025 Volunteer Awards at a special brunch ceremony at the Arboretum at Penn State. Held in conjunction with the Alumni Leadership Connections Conference, 11 affiliate groups and six individuals were recognized for giving back to their communities, supporting current and future Penn State students, and uniting Nittany Lions across the country and around the world.
Watch the full awards ceremony, along with individual clips of the acceptance speeches, and the pre-event interviews with Alumni Association President, Susan Robinson. Additionally, an extensive photo gallery is available, along with a photo story on the Alumni Association's website.
For more than 150 years, the Penn State Alumni Association has provided alumni with a strong and welcoming community representative of the Penn Staters it proudly serves. The association keeps alumni connected to the University and to each other, while upholding Penn State traditions and supporting the University’s mission of teaching, research and service. The association also produces the award-winning Penn Stater magazine and other publications, and offers alumni and friends volunteer opportunities, educational programming, and many other services.
