Welcome to the Central Ohio Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association!

The Central Ohio Chapter is the official chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association for Franklin County and the surrounding counties. All Penn State Alumni and fans are welcome to participate in Chapter events.

We look forward to chatting with you soon.
