About The Chapter
We're a Central Texas-based local chapter of the massive Penn State Alumni Association. Our job is to provide PSU alumni, students, and supporters in our area with a local connection to the University.
Our fundraising provides annual scholarships to outstanding PSU students with roots in Central Texas, and our members promote the Penn State brand while offering insight to local student prospects and their families. We also host weekly watch parties during football season, and are always developing and improving online resources to better your networking. Our Alumni Association is among the largest in the country with 176k active members, and we're continuously working to bring them to you.
