Penn State Beaver Athletics Spirit Weekend

Get an inside look at life as a Penn State Beaver student-athlete! Our two-day Athletics Spirit Weekend is designed especially for admitted and prospective students who want to take the next step toward joining our community.

On Friday, January 30, you and your family are invited to meet with coaches, talk academics with our faculty, and enjoy dinner on us. The evening wraps up with a game night hosted by our current student-athletes.

Saturday, January 31, dives deeper into what’s ahead. Learn about athletics, admissions “next steps,” on-campus housing, and financial aid. After lunch, cheer from VIP seats at our women’s and men’s basketball games. End the day exploring the local area or stay for our Athletics Awards presentations and Hall of Honor Induction Ceremony.

This is your chance to connect, celebrate, and get ready for your Penn State Beaver experience.
