With THON weekend only 17 days away, it's extremely rewarding to look back on the months of planning that have paved this road. This video, created by Special Events Captain DJ Broccoli, was first shown Thursday night at the Road to THON Celebration and showcases events such as Harvest Day, THON Dodgeball, the THON 5K and Family Carnival. Enjoy - we'll see you in the BJC on February 18.

Most of my time spent at the Bryce Jordan Center has been up on press row covering the Nittany Lion basketball team for this fine blogging institution. Find out where I'll be during THON 2011 after the jump.

Do you hate fun? Do you want to make sure it gets the hell out of State College on February 26? Do you want to contribute to the rising crime statistics of the infamous State Patty's Day? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should apply to be a Community Outreach Informant (whoops, I meant Volunteer) with the State College Borough!

A new White House press release has announced tonight that President Obama's visit to Penn State has been rescheduled for Thursday. The change in date is the result of the impending snow storm set to hit State College overnight on Tuesday.

As State College excitedly prepares for the arrival of President Obama on Wednesday, one worry that is becoming more and more ominous is whether or not he'll be able to make it to central Pennsylvania. Find out why the President's trip to Happy Valley may be in doubt after the jump.

Though his time at Penn State was short, Tom Richards left a lasting impression on his friends and peers. In August, while on retreat with the Leadership Jump Start class that he was a TA for, Richards died of a hemorrhage brought on from a brain aneurysm, shortly before the start of his sophomore year. In his memory, his friends and family have united to carry on his zest for service and leadership through The 367 Project.
Started by 2010 graduate Mike Thomas, the project is named for the time Richards spent as a Penn State student. During these 367 days, he greatly influenced his fellow students, compelling them to carry on this impact. The project is based out of Philadelphia, PA but has a local chapter operating at Penn State.
