Welcome Weekend gave Pennsylvania College of Technology the opportunity to
greet incoming students, easing them and their families into new surroundings with
smiles and helpful advice. Saturday was check-in day, as the college
community helped newcomers navigate main campus and take care of last-minute
odds-and-ends
- buying textbooks,
opening bank accounts, stocking cupboards, saying "goodbye" - before
Monday's start of classes.
Sunday's activities included Campus Fest, a premier summer event featuring
live music, free food, custom T-shirts, face-painting, photo flip-books,
games and more. Students also could pick up valuable information as they
visited with various college offices and campus organizations, collecting
signatures on their way toward qualifiying for a grand prize of $1,000 toward
tuition. Sunday afternoon also included valuable information sessions and a
chance for students to get further acquainted with new friends in a new home;
the evening brought welcoming messages from President Davie Jane Gilmour and
other college officials, fireworks and hypnotist Sailesh.
