Welcome to the pride!
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! To help you start this next chapter, we’re offering a free membership in the Penn State Alumni Association. You’ll have access to resources, benefits, and events exclusive to our members, and you’ll stay connected to Penn State after your tassel turns.
Earning a degree from Penn State is a tremendous achievement, and your relationship with Penn State isn’t for four years—it’s for life! Now that you’ve turned your tassel, you’re embarking on a new chapter with Dear Old State.
We want to celebrate your accomplishment and welcome you to the worldwide network of Penn State alumni with a free one-year membership in the Penn State Alumni Association! Membership materials will be automatically sent to you via the U.S. Postal Service after graduation, and can take up to 6-8 weeks to process. Make sure your contact information is updated to avoid delivery issues and minimize processing time. Once you receive your membership card, you will immediately have full access to 30+ membership benefits.
How to Stay Connected
Paws for Five
Your free year of membership in the Alumni Association includes the Paws for Five e-mail newsletter, designed especially for Penn Staters in their first year after graduation. We’ll provide career tips, event invites, benefit features, and more to keep you connected to Dear Old State.
Connect with your local chapter
Your free year of membership will include access to our local chapters, so whether you’re headed to a new town or your hometown, it will be easy to connect with fellow Penn Staters in your area.
