UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State World Campus turned 25 this year, and an ice cream flavor at Penn State Berkey Creamery is marking this sweet occasion.
The birthday cake-flavored ice cream has been temporarily renamed “Penn State World Campus 25th Birthday Bash” and will be available for purchase starting Aug. 1.
“Birthday Bash” is yellow cake batter ice cream with frosted cookie freckles and swirls of blue frosting. The creamery’s website contains its complete ingredient list and allergen information.
The flavor will be available for scoop purchases in the Berkey Creamery’s retail store through Nov. 30. Half-gallons featuring a label with Penn State World Campus branding also will be available for purchase in the store or online.
The renaming of the ice cream flavor is the main celebration to mark the 25th year since Penn State World Campus launched in 1998.
“Penn State World Campus has been an integral part of Penn State for 25 years, and what better way to celebrate this milestone than with another symbol of the University — creamery ice cream,” said Renata Engel, vice provost of Online Education. “We hope that the University community will celebrate with us by grabbing a cone or a dish.”
