Pokémon Society President Alex Valente is a senior majoring in forensic science. The student-run organization at Penn State meets up once a week to discuss everything Pokémon. From video games to anime to the classic trading card game. Various Pokemon-related events are held like the Pokemon Society Friday Night Fights tournament or the Gym Leader challenge.

The Pokemon Society Friday Night Fights tournament is only held 2 to 3 times a semester. Alex Valente said," SPA has this awesome late night thing, so I wanted to get our club involved in that..We come to the HUB and battle on the DS."

Alex said the tournament is small compared to what they do at every weekly meeting. At each meeting there is at least a consistent group of 30 people who compete in a tournament.

"We have a really good following, we have a really nice club, we are all very good friends. This is just to get our name out there to the Penn State community."

2013 Graduate / Public Relations, Broadcast Journalism

Coming from a small town, East Stroudsburg Pa, influenced me to branch out. I chose broadcast journalism for my major because of my love for entertainment. I enjoy listening to the radio, catching up on the latest celebrity gossip, going to concerts, watching television shows, and going to see the latest movies. After spending two years at Penn State, I added on public relations. A career in public relations would give me the opportunity to use my passion for the written and spoken word to effectively create communication strategies for clients or to introduce unique marketing tools to any organization.
