'PC3' previews year packed with possibility

True to its name, Penn College's Student Engagement Office jams the schedule with activities that connect students to a variety of experiences. Any given day brings the prospect of a learning opportunity or a leadership challenge – and, many times, events that are just plain fun. So it is during "PC3," which begins each new academic year. Among the recent activities were the "Pick Your Paint Party" on Aug. 18, held in and around the Thompson Professional Development Center, and "Rose Street Rocks," an outdoor festival in the Rose Street Commons courtyard the following evening. Watch PCToday for more of the student photographers' images, busily captured while they crisscross campus (in between their studies, of course).

Student leader Kellor A. Schooley: a familiar face in the colorful crowd

Throw your hands up (for what was, hands-down, a wildly enjoyable evening)!

Wildcat blue and gray are temporarily displaced, as a washable rainbow emerges from the powdery onslaught.

A tinted explosion adds to participants' T-shirt canvasses. (Those wishing NOT to sully their duds could join an alternative painting party inside.)

Head and shoulders above the fray

As temperatures approach 90 across the Penn College animal kingdom, hydration is key.

The timelessness of tie-dying, from the 1960s to a makeshift craft table near you, allows students to create unique and wearable art.

The event poster promised "music, food trucks and goats," and – affirming the truth in advertising – that's what it delivered. Ever-popular goats flock for attention ...
