Once a Penguin, Always a Penguin
We know that being a Youngstown State Penguin is more than just walking across the stage at commencement, it's about being part of a community made up of more than 108,000 proud Penguins who have graduated from YSU since the university's founding. We are Y and Proud of all our alumni, and we are here to keep you connected to other Youngstown State alumni across the country, and around the world.
There's Always Something Going On
With so many alumni located across the world, there are constantly events for Penguin alumni. Our alumni Facebook page is the best way to keep informed about events and opportunities to engage other Penguins.
