The Club & Part-Time Job Fair saw perfect September weather and an excellent turnout of students interested in getting engaged on campus and in the community. The event, formerly called Fall Fusion, showcased part-time job opportunities, student clubs & organizations, campus recreation, college resources and community organizations.

Lining the Pennsylvania College of Technology campus mall near the Veterans' Fountain were 30 student organizations and 13 employers. Free giveaways and food were featured, and the first 200 students could enter to win gift cards. As campus traditions go, this one is a regular winner.
