Dual Enrollment day hosts students from across the state

Eleven Penn College academic programs opened their doors last week to about 200 dual-enrolled students who are taking Penn College courses at their local high school or career and technical education center. The Penn College Dual Enrollment students hailed from 12 secondary schools that stretched from Chester County in the southeast corner of the state to Warren County in the northwest.

Six visiting groups – all with students enrolled in the college’s Introduction to Gaming & Simulation class – participated in a Game Jam event with Alicia L. McNett, assistant professor of computer information technology, and her students. Students from Dauphin County Technical School, enrolled in the college’s General Psychology course, attended the third annual Wildcat Wellness Fair during their visit to campus. The fair, in its third year, is hosted for the campus community by the Positive Psychology (PSY 410) class, Counseling Services and Student Engagement.

Visit days for dual enrollment students are coordinated by the college’s Secondary Partnerships Office. The final visit day for the semester is scheduled April 25 at the Earth Science Center.
