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.

Check our posts below and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and X to see what Penn State Alumni are doing in Columbus!

During the Chapter’s April business meeting we welcomed Bryan Miller to our board! Bryan and his family have been very active in our chapter and WE ARE excited to have him on our team.

“As a proud Penn Stater, my time at the University helped shape both who I am and how I lead. I earned my BS in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing and Management. Working full-time and going to school full-time allowed me to immediately apply what I was learning.

“One of the highlights of that time was collaborating with Penn State to launch an Accelerated Degree Program for Harley-Davidson employees, expanding access to higher education for working professionals. It was delivered on-site and included employees from other companies extending the Penn State spirit of learning and collaboration to the broader community.

“Growing up in South Central PA, I’ve been a lifelong Penn State football fan, but my most lasting connection came from the classroom. The late Professor Dr. Collison sparked my interest in writing, which led to the recent release of my first book: Realationship Driven Cultures. Today, I’m an organizational culture consultant, leadership coach, and executive search expert helping businesses across the world create thriving, human-centered workplaces. I live with my family just outside Columbus, in Westerville, Ohio.”

Bryan will celebrate his first book with a book launch on April 30th. Please RSVP if you plan to attend.

The Central Ohio Chapter, and all Alumni Association Chapters, are run by Alumni volunteers. We are always looking for area Alumni who want to keep the Penn State spirit alive!

Getting started is easy! Come to an event, follow us on social media, and sign up for our email newsletter. If you have ideas for activities or events, email us. Our monthly Board meetings are open to all area Alumni. Join us for a meeting!

We look forward to chatting with you soon.
