Blue - White Weekend Update


We are just a few weeks away from the Blue - White game in University Park!  

Our local Beaver Stadium 5K team, the Greater Binghamton Spiedies, has raised over $600 for the Special Olympics - Pennsylvania.  With every $150 we raise we underwrite the cost of one athlete at the 2013 SOPA Summer Games at Penn State.  We currently have 6 team members: David Byerly, Zachary Egan, Dick Smith, Kurt Steinhauser, Nick Corcoran and Kate Miller-Corcoran. Please consider supporting us or joining us!  You can do so here:  Greater Binghamton Spiedies Team Page.

Kick off is set for the game at noon on Saturday.  Stadium parking lots open at 8am and stadium Gates A, B, C, and E will open for fans at 10:30am.  As in previous years, there will be no admission or parking fee for the Blue-White game.  

When you’re on campus don’t forget to stop by the Palmer Museum of Art to view the current exhibition “Lit with Piercing Glances: Linocuts” by our very own chapter member, James Mullen.  
Another highlight of the weekend is the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships which will be held at the Bryce Jordan Center.  Team finals are Saturday evening and showcase the 8 best teams in the country going head to head.  With PSU presently ranked 1st this should be an awesome event to attend.  You can link to more information, including ticket prices here or by calling 1-800-NITTANY.  

A full list of athletic events for the weekend can be found on the Penn State Athletics website.
