Thank you for your interest in having the Nittany Lion attend your special event! Our Lion Troop team handles all scheduling and support for these appearances.

PLEASE NOTE: we can only process requests submitted 2-6 weeks before your event due to our scheduling process and event frequency. In most cases, a fee applies for the Nittany Lion's appearance, and this will be invoiced after the event. While we strive to confirm the appearance 1-2 weeks in advance, we do reserve the right to cancel an approved appearance in rare circumstances. For any further questions, please contact us at nittanylionmascot@psu.edu.

Lion Troop is a dedicated support group made up of enthusiastic students who assist with various aspects of the Nittany Lion program, including creative projects, outreach, scheduling, marketing, and general support. This role involves a yearlong commitment, requiring 5-15 hours of work each week. Responsibilities include attending meetings, participating in events, brainstorming and creating props for skits, and fostering relationships across the University. A key goal is to help the Nittany Lion qualify for Nationals, which takes place every January and involves submitting a detailed video and potentially traveling and preparing a performance for competition. For more information on joining Lion Troop, please contact NittanyLionMascot@psu.edu.
