19 Ways Penn State is Making Life Better

Penn State students are making their world better, even before graduation.

PERHAPS THE BEST EVIDENCE that Penn State students are committed to improving their world is the Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon. During this grueling 48-hour event held at the University Park campus, students raise more than $2 million annually for children with cancer and their families at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The Dance Marathon is America’s largest student-run philanthropy.
