Penn State News Release

LionsROAR

LionsROAR is the name we use to describe our outreach to accepted students. It is a way for our alumni volunteers to welcome newly accepted students into the Penn State family, congratulate them on their offer of admission, be a resource for quick questions, offer students the chance to connect with proud Penn Staters, and demonstrate that a large university can still be personable. LionsROAR allows Penn State alumni to make meaningful connections with future Penn Staters. Due to switching internal systems, this portal is not currently being monitored.

Instead, this is organized by each territory manager (TM). We assign schools in close proximity to our volunteers home addresses. We then send out a large email to all students accepted to Penn State from the assigned volunteer. Once a student reaches back out with specific questions, we forward the email to the alum assigned to that high school and ask that the alum respond to the student and copy their TM. We also have the option to do this outreach via handwritten postcards to roughly 20 students assigned to you. This provides an even more personalized touch for our accepted students.

In order to get started, please reach out to the territory manager for your state. Include your full name, email, ideal number of students to write, and a few schools you would like to request.

We think LionsROAR is vitally important to the success of yielding students to say yes to Penn State!
