The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

Life has been amazing since graduation. Right after graduation, I travelled the world visiting Europe and Africa. I spent the summer of 2007 in Tanzania, East Africa, for an HIV/AIDS research program. My time in Tanzania was unforgettable, visiting beaches in Zanzibar and a slave port. I learned so much about myself and the people there. I met great friends and great mentors that I am still in contact with. Before Tanzania, I spent a week in Paris and my time there was amazing as well. I got to practice the little French that I know. My love for travel continued when I went to London April 2008 to watch my favorite and the best soccer team in the world Arsenal FC at the Emirates Stadium in Northern London. My next trip is London again in April 2009 and Ghana in August 2009. I plan on going to Norway and Malaysia next. Did I mention there was Penn State pretzel on the US Airways flight that I took from Paris. Also, there was Penn State bumper sticker on a truck all the way in Tanzania. I was so shocked and happy because it brought all the great memories that I have from Penn State. I am so proud to be a Penn State for life.
