In the earliest years of The Farmer’s High School of Pennsylvania, literary clubs were the only organized form of extracurricular activity. Over the decades that followed, the number of student organizations exponentially grew to help students across the commonwealth find community based on their interests, with more than 1,000 recognized student organizations today. Those interested in joining a student organization can learn more at the Involvement Fair today (Aug. 23) from 1 to 5 p.m. on the HUB-Robeson Center Lawn at University Park, or can browse organizations by campus on the Penn State Student Affairs website.
