UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The University community is invited to join the Lion Ambassadors for a special celebration of Penn State’s birthday from 1 to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the HUB-Robeson Center.
With Penn State turning 164 years old on Feb. 22, the Lion Ambassadors are commemorating more than a century-and-a-half of distinguished education, unmatched spirit and more. The event will take place along the main concourses of the HUB. Attendees can expect party-worthy food, activities and giveaways.
In addition to celebrating another year of Penn State excellence, this Founders Day event will also honor some of the school’s notable history, commemorating the achievements of Penn State women. In an era of female empowerment, the event will turn the focus from "Founding Fathers" to "Founding Females" by showcasing the successes of University alumnae. As such, there will be themed trivia and history games along with the birthday activities.
