The J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School hosted its inaugural Fall Festival on Friday, Oct. 23 at the Kern Building Lobby and Courtyard on the University Park campus. The event was designed to help graduate students take a break from the semester and strengthen their connections with the Penn State graduate community.
Partners from across the University and State College community held tables with fall-themed, family-friendly activities. The Fall Festival also included complimentary food, fall games, a children’s Halloween costume contest, animals, giveaways and a food drive for the Lion’s Pantry.
