Is NSO for either Summer or Fall held during the week or on a weekend?
@Zezeri99 , typically during the week. Would be difficult to get university employees to work every weekend in warmer weather months.
@STEM2017 my son is up there right now on that Admitted Students event (Smeal admit). We just found out about Hockey game, couldn’t get enough tickets online but I think they will be trying to find a way to get some (they are 7 of them total, his friend that was also accepted is there).
@amkerr The hockey game was a BLAST! Like a mini football game. I would definitely recommend any sporting event at PSU during a visit.
BTW, after the Admitted Students Day, PSU quickly moved to S’s top spot. It was excellent…even though it was 15 degrees and windy!
@STEM2017 my son said PSU has moved to his top as well although while he was up there freezing his butt off, we found out that he got into Clemson sooooo we shall see.
@STEM2017 glad you enjoyed the hockey game - it was a fun win!
Yes, it was cold and windy this past weekend - but lots going on on campus. I think a parents weekend for some athletic teams maybe? We tried to go to The Field and there was a 30 minute wait at 4pm on Saturday. Lots of hockey girls and parents - their game must have just ended and all were hungry!
Next weekend it will be rocking even more at BJC. Live stream THON - you don’t understand it until you’ve seen it.
@lucyvanpelt We heard about THON from every single person we talked to yesterday. Sounds like fun. And a GREAT cause.
@lucyvanpelt “Live stream THON”? I didn’t realize this was possible. Would you happen to know the link to do this? Or is it as easy as doing a Google search?
@off2co11ege when you are snowed/iced in tomorrow… you can check some youtube videos out : )
specific fun things: pep rally Saturday night is a big hit - all the athletic teams do a skit/dance and they have the winner… they get really creative and fun.
final reveal is at the very end.

One of the really neat things about THON is the connections - each sponsoring group has one or more THON families - they get to know the specific families throughout the year. The students really understand the personal impact that raising all this money can make.
good luck -
