With the start of a new school year comes the return of Penn State’s best welcome back festivities.

The Penn State Blue & White Society will be hosting its annual BASH in-person on Wednesday, August 25 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Hintz Family Alumni Center. The yearly event aims to ring in the new school year and welcome back students for the fall semester.

Students can fill up on free food before experiencing a wide variety of games, rides, activities, and entertainment. If they’re so inclined, they can even join the Blue & White Society while they’re at it. Current members can pick up this year’s t-shirt.

Last year, the Blue and White Society’s Bash was held virtually last year due to the pandemic, but this year’s BASH will be an in-person event.

The event is sponsored by the University Park Allocation Committee (UPAC). The Blue & White Society is the student membership of the Penn State Alumni Association.
