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.
