Show your PENN STATE pride by volunteering with the

Centre County Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association

No matter what your interests, skills,or passions are, there's likely a corresponding volunteer opportunity with the Centre County Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association. Those looking for ongoing volunteer opportunities are encouraged to consider joining a chapter committee (see list to the right). Other volunteer needs arise throughout the year as the chapter organizes and participates in events througout the Centre Region. If you are interested in getting involved with CCCPSAA but don't no where to start, simply send an email to volunteer@psucentre.org and we're happy to share some ideas with you. 

In addition to special events, the chapter welcomes volunteers for the following annual traditions:

Spend A Summer Day (SASD)
Each year, CCCPSAA volunteers assist Penn State Admissions with Spend A Summer Day. SASD is an opportunity for future Penn Staters and their families to spend a day on the University Park campus and learn about academic programs, student life opportunities, and general information about life in State College. Our volunteers greet, provide a warm welcome and navigation guidance to our visiting students and their families throughout campus.

Homecoming

The Centre County Chapter proudly participates in Penn State's annual Homecoming Parade each fall and competes with other alumni chapters for best parade contributions. Homecoming volunteers develop the chapter's theme and create corrsponding parade decorations. The Homecoming team walks in the parade (tossing out candy, of course!) and ends the night at the Hintz Alumni Center where they attend an exclusive reception with alumni chapters from across the country.

ADMITTED STUDENT EVENTS

This event is the visit by students that have been accepted by Penn State.  The Admitted Student Events to get a first-hand experience of life as a Penn Stater. Admitted Student Events provide newly admitted students the chance to explore campus, talk with students, learn about academic programs, and learn more about the next steps in the admissions process. Alumni Volunteer roles are the same as with SASD.  We greet, provide a warm welcome and navigation guidance to our visiting students and their families.
