Penn State’s Student Programming Association (SPA) and its LEAD team will host a competition event on Thursday, March 16. The event, “Are You Stronger Than A Penn Stater,” features multiple challenges for students to participate in.

The event is free to all students and will be held in the HUB’s Alumni Hall from 5 to 8 p.m.

Students can participate in challenges such as an obstacle course, a warp wall, axe throwing, and hammer strength for a chance to win several prizes. Games and snacks will also be available at the event.

This is a busy time of year for SPA, as it’s also hosting a concert at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21, in the HUB’s Alumni Hall. Country music singer Tenille Arts will open the concert, and the headliner still hasn’t been announced.
