Just like in years past, the THON Executive Committee revealed THON 2015's theme prior to the Homecoming Parade: "Empower the Dreamers."
The Special Interest Association (SIA) is pairing with the Dance Marathon Alumni Interest Group (DMAIG) this weekend to host a tailgate in honor of Coast2Coast Walker Norman Horn.
Just as you thought you would be able to get back into the swing of things following Syllabus Week, THON has opened up applications for their 12 committees for THON 2015.
One of the most, if not the most popular ways to get involved in THON, committees are almost like a right of passage for most Penn State students who wish to be more involved in the organization. Students must apply before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 12 on THON's site THINK and at Alumni Hall in the HUB between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on September 12.
THON's recent decision to restrict each Four Diamonds Family to only three floor passes, including one for each Four Diamonds child, for the Sunday of THON was extremely unpopular among families and students alike. Today, THON Director Megan Renaut explained the decision in a letter to the THON community.
This summer, a group of Penn State students organized a summer camp for children whose parents have cancer.
It may be the first day of classes, but it's never too early to think about THON, and now, it's not too early to apply to be a captain for THON 2015. Captain applications are now being accepted on THON's website and close Friday at 5 p.m. Applications need to be turned in online and in-person at 210 HUB.
