We covered THON 2011 around-the-clock through our THONward State special edition this past weekend. Our liveblog, livetweets, and other posts in aggregate this year marked an unprecedented amount of THON coverage for Onward State and it was our pleasure to bring it to you. We've compiled everything we've published about THON 2011 into a single post. Check out what you missed after the jump.
You probably pass by Old Main at least once a day, but how often do you get to go inside of it? The prominent yet rather mysterious building doesn't generally offer current students a whole lot, being filled with administrative offices.
That changed yesterday afternoon when the Penn State Lion Ambassadors held their annual Old Main Open House. The afternoon was filled with games, trivia, and appearances by the Pennharmonics, the Blue Band Trumpets, Penn State Majorettes, Blue Sapphire PJ Maierhofer, and the Nittany Lion. But the highlight of the afternoon for most attendees was the tour of Old Main.
The tour takes you through various floors of Old Main and ends with a trip up to the Bell Tower, where visitors can experience unparalleled views of campus and downtown State College. Before you get to the bell tower, though, you meet several costumed Ambassadors along the way who talk about what life at Penn State was like back when Old Main was the entirety of campus.
Staff photographer Charlotte Kohl was at the Open House and took the tour. Her pictures are after the jump.
The second University Park Undergraduate Association presidential debate was held tonight in the HUB. Tensions were high, resulting at one point in David Adewumi unveiling a set of Burger King crowns that he brought for Christian Ragland and Colleen Smith in reference to both their campaign shirt logos and their recent endorsement by current UPUA President Gavin Keirans.
The full scoop after the jump.
Students, having emerged from a winter that saw many a cutely-named snowstorms, are enjoying one of the best times in Happy Valley by studying on the HUB lawn.
Didn't get into the concert? No problem! We sent new Staff Photographer Charlotte to catch some of the action as Set Your Goals and Motion City Soundtrack played for an excited Penn State crowd.
