Penn State Lion Ambassadors Host Founder’s Day Celebration On February 22

University Park, Pa. — The Lion Ambassadors, the student corps of the Penn State Alumni Association, will host an event in the HUB’s Noontime Lounge on Friday, February 22, from 12–3 p.m. commemorating the 169th anniversary of the University’s founding.

Penn State was established on Feb. 22, 1855, when The Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania was officially chartered by the Pennsylvania state legislature. In 1862 it was renamed the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania and became the Pennsylvania State College in 1874. In 1953, it became the Pennsylvania State University.

The Founder’s Day event in the HUB will feature exhibits from the Penn State All Sports Museum, La Vie, and the Penn Stater magazine. In addition, representatives from the Indigenous Peoples’ Student Association and the Paul Robeson Cultural Center will showcase information on how different cultural groups have impacted Happy Valley both before and after the founding of the University.

The Blue & White Society, the Alumni Association’s student arm, also will be at the HUB event to provide information about the organization, which offers access to networking and leadership opportunities and gives students an early introduction to the power of Penn State’s global alumni network.
