Shippensburg University will recognize former student-athletes, coaches, administrators, staff members, and alumni with ties to the university during a halftime ceremony on Thursday, Jan. 29, at the men’s basketball game against Lock Haven.

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) is celebrating its 75th anniversary during the 2025–26 season. In September, the PSAC honored 300 individuals as part of the anniversary, selecting 75 honorees in each of four categories: Keystones, Greatest Male Athletes, Greatest Female Athletes, and Made in the PSAC.

A total of 26 individuals with connections to Shippensburg University were selected by the PSAC. Up to 10 of those honorees are expected to be in attendance for the halftime recognition.

The men’s basketball game is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. at Heiges Field House.
