Annual Alumni Reception

Every year, dozens of our alumni and faculty gather at the AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition (AIAA SciTech) for an evening reception to connect with old friends and make news ones. All aerospace engineering alumni are welcome, so if you're attending SciTech or will be in the area, please join us!

For more information on the annual reception, please contact Debby Mayes at 814-863-0065 or dvm3@engr.psu.edu.
