Six events brought together alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members to celebrate Penn State Lehigh Valley from Sept. 19 to 23.
The second annual Mini-THON event at Roberto Clemente Elementary Charter School in Allentown was fun-filled and student-led.
On Oct. 21, the Mascot Hall of Fame broke ground and announced its 2017 class of nominees, a list that includes the “symbol of our best” as “Hail to the Lion” says.
The Nittany Lion from Penn State Greater Allegheny rocked the house at Vincentian Senior Care Communities’ fifth annual Rocking for Residents on Sept. 17.
The Nittany Lion has unfinished business. After not cracking the top 10 in the 2015-16 Universal Cheerleading Association mascot competition, the Lion is aiming for No. 1 in 2016-17 — and the Lion Troop is ready to help take Penn State’s beloved mascot to the top spot.
Beloved by Penn Staters, the Nittany Lion shrine is familiar to everyone who visits the University Park campus. But did you know that each Penn State campus has its own replica of this iconic feline?
Beginning last year, each classroom at Roberto Clemente Elementary Charter School was adopted by a local college or university. Penn State Lehigh Valley adopted the second-grade class. A field trip held May 12 was a continuation of this multifaceted partnership.
To celebrate Penn State Lehigh Valley Month in December, a special assembly program and presentation was held Dec. 22 at Roberto Clemente Elementary Charter School in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Continuing a seven-decade-long tradition, the Penn State Lion Ambassadors will host Guard the Lion Shrine from 9-11 p.m. Oct. 9 as part of Homecoming festivities. In addition to sharing the story of the Lion Shrine, the event will feature entertainment acts, games, food, and plenty of Penn State history.
Who is that sitting on the bench outside The Bradley Building at Penn State York? It is the Penn State Nittany Lion, thanks to the generous donation of the Penn State Alumni Society. A dedication of the Nittany Lion bench and adjacent garden took place on Sept. 23.
Downtown Bethlehem Association (DBA) businesses in downtown Bethlehem, Pennsylvania are coming together from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 1 to raise funds for pediatric cancer in honor of Penn State Lehigh Valley Day.
Schreyer Honors College Scholar Maya Evanitsky will sequence DNA from the Nittany Lion with hopes of aiding conservation efforts for one of the most endangered mammals in the U.S., the mountain lion.
Penn State Cheerleading soon will be seeking the next Nittany Lion mascot, and current students who will be returning for the 2015-16 academic year at University Park are invited to apply.
For the third year, Penn State Lehigh Valley will join thousands of people coming together across the country, including businesses and organizations, to help shine a light on autism through the Autism Speaks Light It Up Blue campaign. From April 1-8, the Nittany Lion Shrine at the north entrance of the campus will be illuminated in a special blue light.
