I'm in love with my GoPro camera. I decided to strap it on one of our own staff members, THON 2012 dancer John Tecce for the final four hours of THON. We got his point of view of the final Slide of Strength and the THON total reveal. Watch the videos after the jump.
While thousands were at the BJC this weekend for THON, a smaller crowd was being wowed by Naturally 7 at the HUB in Alumni Hall on Friday night. The concert was arranged by the Paul Robeson Cultural Center.
Being able to spend the final seven hours of THON on the floor was one of the greatest experiences I will ever have. Seeing what so many of my fellow classmates work so tirelessly at come to life in one unbelievable weekend is a memory I’ll never forget. Check out more from my experience after the jump!
Late this afternoon, yet another chapter was added to the story of this historic year at Penn State. But whereas the past few months have been tragic, marked by sadness and suffering, the past few days have entailed something different altogether. In a year that has tried even the most proud Penn Stater, THON 2012 provided an oasis of hope, surrounded by a sea of color. And what's more, they broke records while doing it.
The Onward State team is proud to bring you live coverage of THON 2012.
At the beginning of the final four hours of THON 2012, Jay Paterno took the stage, greeted with a roaring ovation by the capacity Bryce Jordan Center crowd. He offered some words of encouragement for the dancers, who have been sleepless since Friday afternoon.
