    "Despite the heat, it was a wonderful day,” enthused Bryce J. Winder, coordinator of admissions events and communications, describing Saturday’s Open House at Pennsylvania College of Technology. “Our guests were amazing and brought the energy to campus."

    Winder reports that about 400 students and 1,200 guests were in attendance on the ultra-hot summer day. Their reward for braving the heat was the opportunity to view a lot of “cool stuff” on Penn College’s main campus, Lumley Aviation Center and Schneebeli Earth Science Center. The grounds were in full bloom, college employees extended a warm welcome, and the indoor air conditioning offered a refreshing retreat.

    Two fall Open Houses are set for Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Nov. 3. Potential students and their families are invited to register and gain a glimpse of Penn College life. Email the Admissions Office for more information.
