There are over 700,000 living Penn State alumni in the world. Many are represented by 140 chapters in the USA and 40 chapters internationally. Chapters in good standing are required to complete an annual report of their finances and year’s activities. There are 15 categories of programs and activities from networking to social interaction and fellowship to supporting students and THON and more.
The Penn State Alumni Association has implemented a three-tiered structure to recognize these outstanding groups. Every year our Orange County and Inland Empire Area Chapter has been granted the Group of Distinction status at the Elm Level. In reaching this level of excellence, our alumni group is placed in the uppermost tier of all affiliate groups. This year is no exception.
We will be receiving a new patch outlined in gold for our banner, recognition in the Penn Stater magazine (November-December edition) plus other benefits.
WE ARE very proud of our accomplishments and, as always, thank our generous chapter members and friends for making this possible with their participation and support.
