Spirit Weekend
Plan to visit Penn State Beaver during our Athletics Spirit Weekend February 17-18, 2023 to meet coaches and players and find out about our outstanding athletic and academic programs. This is a great opportunity to learn what it's like to be a student athlete at Penn State Beaver.
You and your family are invited to join us for this three-day program beginning Friday, February 17. Meet with our coaches, discuss academics with our faculty, and have dinner with our student athletes. Join us for a Social/meet and greet to end the evening.
On Saturday, February 18, join us for an athletics presentation, admissions "next steps" program, and a financial aid discussion. You'll have VIP seating at our women's and men's basketball games, and will be our invited guests at our Hall of Fame induction program.
An athlete send-off will occur on Sunday, February 19, at the host hotel. Complimentary breakfast will be provided by the hotel.
Student-athletes must register for Spirit Weekend by January 31.
The program is FREE for prospective student athletes who have been accepted and their immediate families.
