The Penn State Alumni Association is a bright spot amid the destructive and negative actions of the university’s administration and board of trustees

On its website and through its communications with alumni, the Alumni Association has been a staunch supporter of the university, has defended it against false accusations and promoted the positive aspects of the university,

Perhaps the administration and board will publicly acknowledge and applaud the Alumni Association’s efforts during homecoming.

Because I suspect that that will not happen, I will congratulate the Alumni Association myself when I return for homecoming. I invite all other return alumni to do the same.
