ABOUT AKS
The society, based at the campus, is the local chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association. The board of directors, comprising alumni, parents and friends of Penn State, represents more than 7,000 alumni living in the Alle-Kiski Valley. New and recent graduates of Penn State New Kensington can connect with fellow Penn Staters at the monthly meetings of the Alle-Kiski Society, held 6:30 p.m. on the third Monday of the month at Dingbats Restaurant/Royal Gatherings in the Pittsburgh Mills mall.

The Alle-Kiski Society engages in various projects throughout the year, interacting with other Penn State campuses and current students by social and fundraising events and other networking activities. Social events include a reception for spring grads, a bus trip to a Penn State football game, an alumni tent at the Fall Festival,  and student events, such as the Business Club's Etiquette Dinner.

Fundraising events include a bowl-a-thon in the spring and a golf outing in the summer. The society made a pledge in 2010 to contribute $10,000 over the next four years to the Penn State New Kensington Athletic Department. The pledge was fulfilled in 2011, three years ahead of schedule.

The pledge for athletics came on the heels of a pledge to contribute $25,000 over the next four years to the society's scholarship endowment. The principal of the "Alle-Kiski Society Endowed Scholarship" will increase from its current total of $51,000 to $76,000. The philanthropic action was a response to a request by Roger Williams, executive director of the Penn State Alumni Association, for local alumni chapters and campus societies to accelerate the growth of their individual endowments during the University's fundraising effort, "For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students." In September, the society awarded  $3,000 in scholarships to five New Kensington students. Since 1998, the Alle-Kiski Society has awarded $33,000 to 43 students. The society plans to fund the commitment with proceeds from its annual alumni golf scramble in August.

Penn State alumni, students, parents, and friends from the Penn State New Kensington service area -- Westmoreland, Allegheny, Butler, Armstrong and Indiana counties -- are encouraged to re-connect with the University and campus.
