Raise the Bar, near and far 🍻

That’s a wrap on the inaugural Raise the Bar series!

Over nine stops—from Philadelphia to Puerto Rico—Penn State faculty traded the classroom for local bars, bringing thought-provoking conversations, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections to alumni communities along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, shared a drink, and helped make each event memorable. Your enthusiasm and engagement made this series a success.

This may be the last call for 2026, but we hope to see you back at the bar again soon. 💙
