The Penn State Behrend Alumni Society hosted an annual sale of the University’s famous Berkey Creamery ice cream each summer. Held for more than two decades, this fundraiser generated thousands of dollars to support the alumni scholarship.
Proceeds from the ice cream sale benefited the Penn State Behrend Alumni Society Scholarship. Since its inception in 1987, the Alumni Society has developed various programs and activities that help alums stay connected to Behrend and each other.
