“Coming into Penn State as a first-year during the pandemic was an especially challenging time for me, as I felt that I still had not found my place at Penn State. When I discovered Lion Ambassadors, it felt like it was meant to be. Lion Ambassadors not only gave me a sense of belonging here at Penn State but also introduced me to an incredible group of people who have become some of my closest friends. Being given the opportunity to personify Penn State’s rich history and traditions through Lion Ambassadors is incredibly special, and I make sure to never take that for granted. Lion Ambassadors has provided me with a second family here at Penn State, and I am forever grateful for this. This is truly an incredibly special organization, and I am so proud to be a part of it. For the Glory!”
