Happy Birthday to Hintz!

Since it opened in 2001, the Hintz Family Alumni Center has served as a campus home for all Penn State alumni. Built next to, and designed to complement, the historic University House, the center was brought to fruition by Penn Staters who respected the university’s history and shared a vision for a contemporary design that at once honored tradition and embraced the future.

Pause, Rewind, Play

State College indie band Ethel Meserve broke up nearly 30 years ago, a premature end for a promising group. Now, with a handful of reunion shows under their belts and a catalog reissue in the works, the band members are making the most of an unexpected second chance.
