University Park, Pa.—The Blue & White Society will kick off the fall semester with the inaugural Blue & White Bash on the lawn of the Hintz Family Alumni Center on Thursday, Sept. 2. The free event, which is slated to begin at 4 p.m., will feature games, refreshments, live performances, and prize drawings. All University Park students are welcome to attend.
A drawing for a first class Eurail pass contributed by STA Travel will highlight the day's activities. Lawn games at the event will include bocce ball, wiffle ball, and croquet. Local artists J.R. Mangon and James Miller will provide live entertainment. Blue root beer floats and light appetizers will also be available.
Current Blue & White Society members will be able to pick up their free member T-shirt at the event. Non-members will have an opportunity to learn about the organization and can join at the event.
The Blue & White Society is the student membership of the Penn State Alumni Association. The Society organizes many large-scale campus events each year, including AfterFest and Rally in the Valley. Society members also participate in campus events such as THON and Homecoming, and are actively involved in numerous community service programs. Last spring, Undergraduate Student Government tabbed the Society as University Park's Most Active Large Student Organization for the second year in a row.
