Julia Jakuboski, a 4th year political science major with double minors in sociology and Middle East studies currently serves as the THON 2024 alumni engagement director. In a new initiative for expanding THON’s reach, 2024 is the first year in which Penn State alumni can fundraise for THON on Donor Drive on behalf of their Alumni Association group or the past organizations they were involved in. As a result, in her position, Jakuboski acts as a liaison between donors, alumni and the broader Penn State community, striving to create meaningful connections and support for childhood cancer research.
The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) will return to the Bryce Jordan Center from Feb. 16–18. As the world’s largest student-run philanthropy, THON raises millions of dollars to fund childhood cancer research for Four Diamonds each year.
Dancers will stand at 6 p.m. on Feb. 16 and remain standing for 46 hours. The weekend will be complete with performances, activities and line dancing — which are all made possible by THON’s directors who comprise the executive committee. Full Story
