In living out the Alumni Association’s mission, affiliate groups and inspiring volunteers give back to their communities, support current and future Penn State students, and unite Nittany Lions across the country and around the world. The seven individuals and 11 groups that comprise this year’s class of Volunteer Award recipients represent the best of Penn State’s alumni volunteers.
Penn State alumnus Will Copeland, class of 2020, is thriving in his job as a media planner. Copeland began his Penn State journey at Brandywine in 2017, majoring in communications with a corporate communications option.
