About our Chapter
The Lawrence County Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association was formed in 1989
when a small group of alumni and friends gathered to share their love of
Penn State culture and pride. The group received their Charter from the Alumni Association in April of 1990,
and has since been recognized fourteen times as a Group Of Distinction
by the Penn State Alumni Association.
MISSION STATEMENT
To assist Lawrence County
residents and students with continuing their higher education at Penn
State and
to provide a network of fellowship and activities among members of the
Penn
State Alumni and friends who reside in Lawrence County.
PHILANTHROPY
To achieve our Mission, we provide annual
scholarship opportunities to area high school seniors. When possible,
we also support other student-based efforts such as THON.
Your donations or contributions to our fundraisers
directly support Lawrence County natives.
