As we’ve come to the close of the 2021-2022 school year, Students for Life of America (SFLA) will be giving out three end-of-year awards for Best New Group, Best High School Group, and Best College Group—and you get to help us choose which groups deserve these awards! Read below to find out about one of the schools that has been nominated to receive Best College Group of the Year: The Penn State Students for Life! 

The Penn State Students for Life group has existed for many years on the campus of Pennsylvania State University, but has recently expanded their group’s activity and outreach in the last two years. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Penn State Students for Life group was small and struggled with membership—however, that all changed with SFLA training.

The President of the Penn State Students for Life group Lauren Shovlin attended SFLA’s Summer Post-Roe Leadership Academy and applied the knowledge she gained from the SFLA workshop to grow her group to more than 40 active members! Here’s what the Penn State Students for Life did this year: 

  • Hosted the SFLA Fall Tour (See Me Now) and Spring Tour (No Woman Stands Alone) 
  • Attended the March for Life and National Pro-life Summit 
  • Hosted multiple Pregnancy Resource Center fundraisers and volunteer activities 
  • Made meals for a Pregnancy Resource Center
