The Clown Nose Club at Penn State is all about positive social risks -- being a little bold and a little silly to have a big impact. 

In the latest episode of "This is Penn State," we clown around with the Clown Nose Club, a student organization built on the philosophy that genuine positivity is wildly contagious. It's a Penn State movement that's garnered national media attention and inspired chapters at other schools. As for the nose, it's a "symbol of joy" as the club calls it, a chance to attract attention and build rapport with anyone who may show interest.
