Connecting alumni to Eberly and
each other long after graduation

The Eberly College of Science Alumni Society was established to promote better acquaintance and fellowship among alumni, faculty, students and friends and to promote the interests of science education and research. The Eberly College of Science Alumni Society is governed by a small group of alumni who are leaders in industry, academia, medicine, research and more. The Alumni Society and the Alumni Society Board enhance the quality of science education at Penn State and provide advice and support to administrators, faculty, students, and alumni.

58K Strong: We need your expertise!

Did you know there are over 58,000 graduates of the Eberly College of Science? That number alone is significant, but even more impressive is the diversity of experience across a wide range of careers and professional expertise among our alumni. We would like to invite you to join us in supporting the college by volunteering your time and expertise!

As a member of the Penn State Alumni Society and an Eberly graduate you are also a member of the Eberly College Alumni Society. The majority of the Society’s work is conducted by its board of directors, which is comprised of about 20 volunteers committed to the success of the college and Penn State. One of the board’s major goals is to expand the reach and impact of the Eberly Alumni Society by building an engaged community of former students and future alumni who work together to support the college and the University.

The Board is actively involved in activities which include:
