About the event

2025 Penn State Hampton Roads Student Sendoff & Picnic
We're back for another fun picnic to enthusiastically greet new students and "send them off" to Penn State while reconnecting with alumni!

About this Event

We'll welcome new local students to Penn State, "send them off" to their freshman year and renew friendships with current students and alumni.

General Admission tickets are just $20.00 ... FREE for all incoming and current Penn State students who attend a campus... READ ON!!

We connect students with alumni, mingle with their families, introduce them to Penn State traditions and reassure parents that their freshmen will BE OK!

Come out to this family- friendly Penn State Hampton Roads signature event held this year near the Shore Drive/N. Great Neck Rd intersection. Heads up- the Lynnhaven Dr. address is NOT near Lynnhaven Mall! ;-)

We are also inviting several students who started Spring semester '25 and didn't get to attend a welcome picnic last summer.

ALL NEW STUDENTS going off to a campus receive a GIFT from our Hampton Roads alumni chapter!

PLUS.... Penn State Trivia game, Giant jenga, Corn hole, PSU door prizes, 50-50 fundraising raffle to benefit our chapter's student scholarship fund!

PLUS! A picnic buffet catered by Ballyhoos
