: For the Glory. Raise the Song. White Out. The Creamery. We invite you to join us in learning about Penn State traditions, get a glimpse at the All Sports Museum located in Beaver Stadium, and hear from a few special guests.

Show us where you roar!

Missing your student at the dinner table, use the Flat Lion to fill their seat.

Is your Flat Lion heading out for the day? Mask up!

Is your student learning from home? Create your own scavenger hunt and have your student find their Flat Lion.

Missing Penn State football? Have a tailgate at home and share your family’s Penn State pride with a family photo, with your Flat Lion, of course.
