There are some things that are bound to happen every year at Penn State: Rumors swirl about JoePa retiring. People raise an absurd amount of money for THON. But the most important occurrence of all is the Graham Spanier State of the University Address.
Yes, that's right, Afroman (Joseph Foreman) is coming to Happy Valley. This Grammy-nominated artist who brought us the popular songs "Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap" (better known as "Colt 45") will be performing at 9 p.m. at the Mezzanine. Tickets are available at the door and cost $10.
