If you’ve walked through the 1st floor of the PSU you’ve probably seen the privacy walls up around the former location of Kaldi’s. Maybe you’ve heard the faint sounds of power tools coming from within the walls. It’s the sights and sounds of construction as crews work hard to transform the area into a fully functioning Starbucks. Keep an eye out for more information on the opening of Starbucks. You’ll be getting great coffee before you know it!

It’s family weekend! What better way to show off your campus than to show your family all the brand new vendors that the PSU has added this semester? Bring your family by and grab some Chick-fil-A, Subway, Smashers, Papa John’s or Wok & Roll before you head over to the football game on Saturday.
After the game SAC will be holding a special showing of Cars 2 in the PSU Theater as part of family weekend. So bring your family and catch the film Saturday at 7 PM. Or stop by the Level 1 Game Center for some bowling, billiards or table tennis.
Explore PSU continues next week with a special day for the Union Club on Wednesday, October 5th. Make sure you stop by to try some free samples from the Union Club as well as get freebies from the Union. See you there!
