ANNUAL NEWSLETTER
2015-2016 Sensational!
2016-2017 Even better!
THEME FOR 2016-2017FUN AND FRIENDSHIP!
MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT It must be the middle of the summer-I see
the Street & Smith College football magazine
on my husband's desk. The anticipation of
another football season is in the air.
This past year, football was a focus for some of our chapter
activities-the September tail gate party at the Okatie Ale
House, meeting Jon Brown from the Nittany Lion Club,
sponsoring a bus trip to the Taxslayer Bowl game in
Jacksonville, and highlighting the year by showing the
documentary "The Joe We Know" at our annual Luncheon. The
film was powerful! Powerful because the message "student
first, athlete second, and always with Honor" was emphasized
by every player in the film. Most of us were not student
athletes, but those standards were ingrained in all of us-I don't
know how, but it was. It makes us all very proud of our
degree(s), our University's accomplishments, our graduation
rate, our past student body and most importantly, our future
alumni.
This coming year, we all look forward to following our Nittany
Lions on the grid iron, but also EVERYTHING else about our
University and Alumni Association. Please consider supporting
our chapter by sending in your membership form.
With thanks for all your past support.
For the Glory,
Katie Jones
