Alumni

Welcome International Alumni

Whether you studied abroad or were an international student at Penn State, we encourage you to get involved and continue to promote international activities on campus. There are several ways you can provide support:

Keep in Touch with the University Office of Global Programs

We hope you will keep in touch with us after graduation; we want you to be aware of international initiatives at Penn State. There are also a number of ways to volunteer with international activities at Penn State-and you needn't be on campus or located nearby to volunteer. If you are in the area, we are always looking for mentors, hosts, and a variety of volunteers to help with UOGP programs. Outside the U.S., volunteers are needed as mentors, or to help with recruitment and University exchanges on both student and faculty levels. To help us keep in touch with you or to volunteer, complete our International Alumni Contact Form or contact us at .

Support Global Connections

Continue your international interests by supporting Global Connections, the community non-profit organization, affiliated with the Pennsylvania State University and the Centre County United Way, which has a long-standing tradition of promoting international cultural exchange in Centre County. Becoming a volunteer with Global Connections can be a very rewarding way to share your international interests and give back to the international community at Penn State and in State College.
