While You Were Away…

- Lamont Wade committed to Penn State.
- THON alumni created the “Hope From Coast 2 Coast” fundraiser.
- Envy Nightclub announced it’s coming to State College.
- The Gaff is now smoke free!
- Chris Godwin declared for the NFL draft.
- A new dean of Penn State Law and the School of International Affairs was named.
- Penn State basketball got a big win over Michigan State at the Palestra.
