Episode Synopsis

Hey Nittany Lions, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for October 6 through October 13. Let's get you set for the week—fast.



First up—Homecoming Week is in full swing! Don't miss the Allen Street Jam today from 3 to 7 p.m. downtown. Enjoy local food, live performances, and meet the Homecoming Court.

Next, the Graduate and Professional School Week kicks off tomorrow. If you're considering further education, attend sessions from October 7 to 9 at the HUB-Robeson Center. Each day focuses on different programs, so check the schedule.

Finally, mark your calendars for the Homecoming Parade this Friday at 6 p.m. It starts on campus and winds through downtown State College. Can't make it in person? There's a livestream available.



This past weekend, our women's volleyball team dominated at home, securing a 3-0 victory against #11 Oregon. The Nittany Lions are now 14-1 for the season. Looking ahead, the Homecoming football game is this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against Northwestern at Beaver Stadium. Let's pack the stands and show our Penn State pride!



On Wednesday, the Best of Penn State Carnival takes over the HUB Lawn from 1 to 5 p.m. Expect student org booths, inflatable attractions, and free caricatures. It's a great way to unwind midweek.

Also on Wednesday, the Opulence Drag Show is happening at 7 p.m. at Basement NightClub. Come out for a fun night of performances.

And if you're craving something sweet, don't miss the Student-Alumni Ice Cream Social on Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hintz Family Alumni Center. Enjoy Berkey Creamery ice cream and live music.



This week in State College, expect mild temperatures with highs in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s. There's a chance of showers midweek, so keep an umbrella handy. By the weekend, it should be partly cloudy—perfect for Homecoming festivities.



Your move: Attend the Homecoming Parade this Friday at 6 p.m. It's a highlight of the week and a great way to show your Penn State spirit. Don't miss out!
