The Penn State Alumni Association will recognize this year's Volunteer Award recipients during a ceremony July 27 on the University Park campus. Penn Staters are encouraged to register for the livestream, during which the Alumni Association will present six individual awards, made possible by endowments from alumni, and nine group awards, two of which are endowed by alumni.
The livestream will feature the honorees' acceptance speeches, with the recipients sharing their Penn State stories and why they're inspired to give back to the University and to their local communities. There are 275 Alumni Association affiliate groups that unite Penn Staters through shared geographic regions, interests, and academic ties; a full list is available 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 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.
