Smeal In Your City
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Celebrate Smeal across the country and the globe at a "Smeal In Your City" gathering near you. Connect with alumni and professional graduate students to harness the power of the Penn State network. 2026 will be our third-annual event with a variety of locations, each hosted at a local venue to celebrate the Penn State Smeal connection.
At each location, light snacks will be provided, and a cash bar will be available for individual purchases. We look forward to growing into more cities in the future.
