"We Want You.... to be a part of our chapter!"
What could be better than Penn State and palm trees? Here in the greater Sarasota area, we have over a thousand PSU alumni in the surrounding communities. The Penn State Alumni network is one of the largest in the country. So, why not join the local chapter and get connected with your fellow alumni in the area?
Starting in July 2022, Penn State Alumni Association membership at the local and University level will be combined. Local chapters will no longer collect dues—instead, access to local chapters will be included with Penn State Alumni Association membership. This makes it easier for more alumni to connect with the Penn State community when and where they want and will enable chapters like ours to engage more local alumni.
It also means that, moving forward, Alumni Association members will no longer pay separate dues to their local chapter—instead, access to our local chapter, as well as all other chartered affiliate groups, will be included as a core benefit with your Penn State Alumni Association membership.
In addition to local benefits, under the new model you will receive all the benefits of association membership, including:
Being an official member on the Penn State Gulf Coast Chapter has it's benefits.
- Participate in local events, whether they are virtual or safely in person.
- Enjoy Creamery ice cream in Florida at one of our events.
- Discounted rates on local PSU events.
- Timely e-mail notices on upcoming local PSU events.
- Ability to participate in community service events such as fundraisers, college fairs, etc...
- Eligible to join our Board, attend our meetings, and participate in elections.
