Take a look at ten of the most stereotypical dorm room decorations to see how original, or unoriginal, your room is.
Meet Penn State's Club Croquet ("Broquet") team. They might not even know how to play croquet, but this close group of friends manages to have a lot of fun trying while raising money for THON, too.
The Nittany Lions have played the Central Florida Knights twice in the past. The first game was back in 2002 when Penn State barely edged UCF for a 27-24 win. Their next matchup came in 2004 when Penn State posted 524 yards of offense while holding UCF to just 181 yards in route to a 37-13 victory. When kickoff comes tomorrow evening at Beaver Stadium, expect a close matchup similar to the game from '02. Here's everything you need to know heading into tomorrow's evening game.
Penn State is widely known for its whiteout games and the intense atmosphere that each brings. Traditionally, Penn State has one "official" full-stadium whiteout per season, with a few student-declared whiteouts sprinkled in.

With THON season in full swing, I conducted a series of interviews with each member of the THON 2014 Executive Committee in order to better connect the Penn State community with the leaders of the largest student run philanthropy in the world. First up is Executive Director Ryan Patrick.
