WELCOME TO PENN STATE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION - UPPER CHESAPEAKE CHAPTER!
Welcome to the online home of the Penn State Alumni Association - Upper Chesapeake Chapter! This Chapter is dedicated to bringing together local Penn State alumni and friends from the Harford and Cecil counties of Maryland for networking, socialization, and philanthropy. There are A LOT of Penn Staters that call this area home and we’re excited to take a leading role in bringing the feeling of Happy Valley to them!
Our chapter supports the Penn State Dance Marathon (THON) year-round through various fundraising events
Funds are also raised annually to support a scholarship awarded in the summer to a local high school senior attending PSU.
Football and other sports watch parties are held at Fallston Barrel House in Fallston, with food and drink specials available for all Penn Staters. Come cheer on our Nittany Lions and meet fellow PSU fans!
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I’m so honored to take on this role, give kudos and thanks to Travis Buffington, past president and now Treasurer for the Executive Board. The #1 goal for my term is to grow membership. As a professional fundraiser, I also look forward to bringing FUN and FUNDS to our hosted events to benefit both our Student Scholarship program and THON. If you have an idea for a fundraiser, please let me know.
I look forward to seeing you soon!! Let’s show our Maryland neighbors that Penn Staters are everywhere!
WE ARE!

President
Hello Friends! I’m so excited to take on the role as your new Alumni Association President. I previously served as the Communications Chair on the Executive Board and have had the opportunity to meet many of our Chapter members, their families, and fans of Penn State at the events we’ve hosted. Maybe you attended a football watch party or the Sip & Swim I hosted at my home. It’s always great getting to know other Penn Staters in our area, hearing their ideas, and sharing stories.
