SPA COMMITTEES

Our teams are committed to bringing the best in entertainment to our campus. Attend a meeting to get involved and see your ideas come to life!

Concerts

Committee members help brainstorm and vote on which artists we bring for Penn State students. Members help set up our venues and also help with wrist banding, line control, and monitoring the crowd day-of-show. 

Lectures

Committee members plan and bring distinguished speakers to speak at Penn State, and they also run all aspects of the event themselves. 

Noontime

Noontime is a bi-weekly local artist concert series! Committee members work together tofind smaller, up-and-coming musicians to bring to campus! 

Special Events

Committee members plan novelty events such as laser tag, silent disco, and escape rooms for students. They also bring comedians once or twice a semester. The Special Events committee has a similar process of planning and working the event as concerts.

Membership

Committee members come up with ways to create a social environment for SPA members through team-building activities and socials. They also brainstorm ways to recruit new SPA members and plan a semesterly banquet for active members.
