Third Annual Student Send-off Party a Success!

After a day of consistent rain showers, the moisture held off and the weather turned warm enough on Tuesday, August 9th to ensure an enjoyable backyard barbecue as the Penn State Alumni Association of Western New York hosted its third annual student send-off party at the home of PSU alumni Doug and Terry Eberhard on Grand Island. Both new and returning students and their families, as well as WNY Penn State alumni, were invited to come together and celebrate in Penn State style. Hot dogs and hamburgers, beverages, Penn State trivia, and even a visit from Lindsey Hopkins Hall, Coordinator of Student Involvement and Fraternity and Sorority Life in the Office of Student Activities at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College were part of the evening’s activities.

PSU WNY wished the following students well as they head off to Dear Old State:
