As the weather warms up, it's usually a sign that Spring Fling is just around the corner and that the last remaining weeks of the semester are upon us. Join the campus community for a fun day from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for the annual Spring Fling on April 21. Free food, free entertainment, and good times! No rain means we will be outside in the Williams Lawn. Rainy weather will move the event to the Main Arena in the Community Center.
Brand new this year, there will be a Spring Fling dance from 7:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. in the Student Center, also on April 21.
Only 2 more weeks before finals, keep up the great work!
Until next time,

We are so proud! There's a lot to be happy about at Penn State Fayette! The women's basketball team made it to University Park for the PSUAC play-offs! Our ladies represented our campus so well and advanced to the semi-finals for the first time! Great job!
Also at University Park this past weekend, the Penn State Fayette THON team helped contribute to the $9,500,000.00 raised by over 15,000 students (all for the kids and the Four Diamonds Fund), the most ever raised in Penn State THON history! For more details, be sure to visit www.THON.org

I should put, "we are...cold" too. We have seen a record month of cold for January. Hopefully mother nature is nicer to us in February.
The cold weather though has its perks. All this week, Winterfest will be occurring.
Today, an ice sculptor was on campus giving away ice creations on the spot. In addition, he made nice a replica of ME, The Nittany Lion!
Throughout the rest of the week, there will be a snowman building contest, ice skating trip, free ice cream creations, and a ski trip to Seven Springs.
For more information, see Chad in the Student Activities Office.
Last but not least, THON is 18 days away! More to come later!
Until next time,
