JUNE 8, 2023 UPDATE: The Lions Legacy Club and Success with Honor collectives announced a merger to become Happy Valley United. In a move heralded by Penn State Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Pat Kraft, the uniting of the “two successful organizations into one will create a clear direction for all Nittany Nation stakeholders to directly support the NIL efforts of the world-class student-athletes attending Penn State.” PREVIOUS INFORMATION: Success with Honor is a non-profit collective backed by prominent Nittany Lions alums and power players. The collective aims to “help more than 850 student-athletes at Penn State University navigate and maximize their Name, Image and Likeness.” Success with Honor has partnered with Student Athlete Empowerment to run its day-to-day operations. However, its board of directors is full of heavy hitters in the Penn State universe. Former University Board of Trustees chairman Ira Lubert chairs the Success with Honor board. So, too, is former Penn State Advisory Committee to the Board of Trustees member and PAM Health Principal, President & Chief Executive Officer Anthony Misitano.
