Nothing foretells the end of the semester and the start of finals quite like the campus tradition of “Midnight Breakfast.” Thursday evening, 425 Penn College students braved spring rains to pile up stacks of pancakes, donuts, ice cream and other treats in Dauphin Hall’s Capitol Eatery.
Several Penn College students showed their care for the local community by volunteering their time to support the Lycoming County SPCA's annual Paws Run. Sigma Pi fraternity, who has a tradition of helping with this event for the past several years, came out in full force with 20 brothers volunteering.
Student leader Samir Pringle takes his turn with the Tomorrow Makers podcast, sharing his perspectives in the hopes of inspiring his peers. In “Kindness & Leadership,” the Penn College business administration student from Philadelphia discusses maximizing the campus experience and making a positive impact on others.
A warm welcome is easing a chilly move-in for new and returning students this weekend at Penn College. Welcome Weekend is unfolding today through Sunday, with Spring 2025 classes starting on Monday. New students are attending various required sessions, as well as elective and social events, throughout the weekend.
Everyone loves leftovers, right? As we close out Fall 2024, here are a few events photographed this semester by Student Photographer Matt B. Deane, who is graduating in mechatronics technology.
Keeping up with the whirlwind of events on campus this fall has been a tall order. Among the fun and informative activities staged recently by Residence Life were “Tipsy Turns” and “Planting Your Success.” Partnering with Penn College Police and Career Services, respectively, Residence Life stirred awareness and success.
Sounds like team spirit! “Wildcat Wars,” a Penn College tradition since 2014, brought its raucous and respectful rivalries to the UPMC Athletic Field. Competing in kickball, dodgeball and tug of war, four residence life teams battled it out on a picture-perfect September evening.
The Penn College community rolled out the Wildcat welcome carpet over the past few days, greeting first-year and returning students for the 2024-25 academic year. From Wednesday's move-in for the newest members of the Wildcat family through Monday morning's free coffee and advocacy outreach designed to ease those first-day worries, the campus teemed with an array of offerings to orient and entertain students.
And so it begins: the Fall 2024 semester at Pennsylvania College of Technology! It was a wild Wildcat Wednesday as first-year students moved into their residence halls with an eager assist from many happy helpers. After all the unpacking, the coming days are packed with fun and informative activities to ring in the new academic year.
Pennsylvania College of Technology has appointed Kate Hummel as senior director of campus life and the residential experience. She began her duties on June 10. “Kate’s experience and expertise is second-to-none in the field of student affairs; her arrival will enable us to move student life forward in innovative and exciting ways,” said Jennifer McLean, dean of students.
