Orientation Program Connects Students, Parents to Penn College Community

Penn College held the first of its summerlong Connections sessions this week, preparing new students and their families for the imminent start of the fall semester. Through presentations and activities, Connections staff – including crucial involvement from student Links – share practical information on everything from buying books and choosing a meal plan to roommate survival and balancing academic rigor with stress relief. Five more sessions are scheduled in coming weeks, followed by special one-day programs for nontraditional and transfer students.
