Created in 2004, the IST Alumni Society is the official group for graduates of the College of Information Sciences and Technology within the Penn State Alumni Association. Members of the IST Alumni Society play a critical role in sharing their IST and Penn State pride around the world. Their personal stories and professional experiences help to recruit new students, create and sustain scholarships and financial awards, and promote internship and career opportunities within their organizations. The IST Alumni Society is committed to providing opportunities for alumni to get involved and support the Society's mission and, in turn, the missions of the College of IST, the Penn State Alumni Association, and the University.
