Get Involved

Student talking with Faculty and Alumni.

As a Penn State College of Health and Human Development (HHD) alum, we encourage you to stay connected with the university, your college, and your peers in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management long after you leave Penn State.

Through a range of benefits that include mentoring, financial services, and networking opportunities, we offer experiences that pay dividends on your degree … for life! Don’t know where to begin? Consider joining the HHD Alumni Society or getting involved in one of our very active Affiliate Program Groups — Professional Golf Management or Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management — as well as participating in our ongoing schedule of exciting events, mentoring a current student, or simply catching up on alumni news.
