A special time for special people

Special Olympics a success

Roughly 2,000 athletes representing all 67 counties in Pennsylvania participated in the 27th Pennsylvania Special Olympics, held on the University Park Campus June 6-8.

The University has been host for the Games for the past eight years, and many of the 5,000 volunteers, coaches and spectators work for or are students at the University.
