🦁 ONE BIG THING

🔺 New Digs! Penn State introduced the brand-new fencing facilities at the White Building on Friday, October 10, with an open gym practice and a moving tribute for former head coach Emmanuil G. Kaidanov, whom the gym is named for.  

A project that was two years in the making and made possible through generous donations from sponsors and the Kaidanov family, Penn State’s new fencing gym is one of the finest collegiate gyms in the country and a new state-of-the-art facility for Penn State Athletics.
