Alumni Courtyard
Construction will soon begin on a special brick and stone outdoor plaza called the Alumni Courtyard. Growing out of the success of the Alumni Walk, built five years ago, the Alumni Courtyard will be inscribed with the names of dedicated Alumni Association members and will introduce generations of students to the distinguished Penn State alumni family that awaits them upon graduation.
At the heart of the Hintz Family Alumni Center, this plaza will be nestled behind the newer main building. The Alumni Courtyard will connect to the Alumni Walk, and both will be traversed by thousands of students each day, making the area one of the most visible and visited features at our alumni home on campus.
By reserving a brick or stone, Penn Staters are also helping student programs. All Alumni Courtyard proceeds will go to an endowed fund that supports two student groups affiliated with the Penn State Alumni Association—the Blue & White Society and the Lion Ambassadors—as well as helps other student programs like the FastStart program for underrepresented first-year students.
Members of the Penn State Alumni Association are invited to add their name to the Alumni Courtyard and show generations to come what Penn State means to them.
