Time to Go Big

From October 15–22, it’s One Big Week. Penn State is joining its Big Ten competitors for this third annual race to build as much student support as possible before the week runs out. Penn Staters can participate with a gift to food pantries and emergency funds across the Commonwealth—and take on the Buckeyes in a 4th-and-goal fundraising challenge October 20–22. Let’s show our rivals—and our students—what “We Are” really means.
