In Pennsylvania, universities are key sites for historical knowledge, education, and of course, sightseeing. The Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania was established in 1839. In 1983, the school became a part of the 14-university state college system. As part of community outreach, the Big Event is held every spring where volunteers (numbering in the thousands) venture to local businesses and parks to help tidy up the neighborhood. Along with removing garbage, volunteers have helped paint, rake, much, weed, and plant flowerbeds. Past alumni of the college include Jimmi Simpson and MMA fighter, Dennis Bermudez.
