    BREAKING NEWS! PSU Coaches' Caravan to return this Spring. Mark it down!

    It will never happen. Paul has very little to do in State College. He's all about being the "face" of the association and wants to meet with people who will shower him with praise - hence his weird obsession with the students. He hired a "executive team" to actually carry the work of the...

    Need some help signing up a new account here on BWI....

    Don't think of it as what the Alumni Association does, since we all know at this point that is a joke, think of it as the alumni network. No matter where you go in the world, you can find a Penn Stater. And if you go to Philly, Pittsburgh, DC, NYC, LA, etc., you can find hundreds, if not...

    Alumni Relations Meeting Request...Anybody ever do it?

    Leadership Annual Giving at Penn State is tasked very differently than the rest of Development. They are Annual Giving, not Major Gifts. Annual Giving means they ask annually and move on. It's done via paper, email, phone, social media, etc. For the "higher" level annual gifts, Penn State and...

    Alumni Relations Meeting Request...Anybody ever do it?

    If you haven't already met with Loretta, be prepared to be asked for money. This group's whole purpose is to meet with as many people as possible and ask for a donation of $2500 on their first visit. Once people who have "Development" in their title start calling for meetings, then they will try...

    Paul Clifford offer of 50% off life time PSAA membership

    This should reflect very poorly on Mr. Clifford given the Alumni Association saw growth year after year after year until he came on board. There is a reason why this is a first time discount. It wasn't needed until he was appointed "Grand Poohbah" and ran the membership program into the ground...

    Paul Clifford offer of 50% off life time PSAA membership

    Paul Clifford stole this Cyber Monday idea from Oregon. It isn't original to Penn State. It was done at Oregon starting the year before he joined their Alumni Association. So...

    Paul Clifford offer of 50% off life time PSAA membership

    This goes to show they are so far below their membership quota that they are desperate enough to whore themselves out to get those numbers up. It's offensive to those of us who have paid full price for our lifetime memberships.

    Rutgers being classy lasted like 2 hours

    I feel like an even bigger sucker paying for a full priced life membership when Clifford is offering half price life memberships on Cyber Monday.

    Trustee Kay Salvino: “The Alumni Assoc is not in the business of getting students scholarships."

    Jim, my apologies for the confusion and for the obvious inconvenience you've had to deal with. I thought it was interesting that we share the same name, but never would have even considered you would receive push back for my comments.

    Trustee Kay Salvino: “The Alumni Assoc is not in the business of getting students scholarships."

    Little back story as to why membership is down. Paul decided to do a reorg of the PSAA several months ago. He eliminated the membership team and demoted the person who was working as the interim director of membership (the previous director had left months prior) to associate director of...

    New VP of Development and Alumni

    The difference between that face and these faces is that that face was devoted to furthering the University and these faces are devoted to furthering themselves. They throw around "We Are" like they get it, but they never will. I am hoping (albeit naively) that an alum will at least know what it...

    New VP of Development and Alumni

    Agreed. However, Barron, Sandy, Franklin, Clifford, Steele who are all nonalums all act as the "face" of the University. It will be nice to at least have one face who is an alum.

    New VP of Development and Alumni

    Penn State development and alumni staff were informed today that O. Richard Bundy III will replace Rod Kirsch as Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations. It will be official after a vote by the BOT on November 4. Bundy is a PSU alum (Thank God!) and comes from the University of...

    Help needed

    Our illustrious CEO and his wife took in the PSU/Michigan game a few weeks back. Any guess on who paid for BOTH of their airfares, tickets, and hotel stays? And if, by some grace of God we make it to a Bowl, we'll be paying for BOTH to attend that as well.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Sandys new hire

    Mark works for Foley. Rumor has it that Sandy and Mark weren't getting along. She couldn't get rid of him, so she added a buffer, which ultimately demoted him.

    NLC Warning

    Penn State is the destination for incompetents who ran their previous programs into the ground. Sandy Barbour is doing exactly what she was fired from Cal for, Paul Clifford is doing exactly what he was (almost) fired from Oregon for, and Barron was the president of FSU during a sex-abuse...

    Tributes left a statue site were thrown in the garbage during the 1st quarter yesterday.

    This is absolutely disgusting. Another ball-less removal done in the "cover of dark." But yet the red solo cups and bags of garbage still littered the fields today. Obviously we are dedicated more to alcohol and filth here at Old State than the man whose legacy built the base for these pathetic...
