Penn State Plans Week Of Activities For Second-Year Students
To recognize those who started their college career during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Penn State is hosting a week’s worth of events for second-year students from Monday, October 11, to Friday, October 15.
For many of these second-year students, this semester may be their first on campus, and Penn State hopes to help them acclimate to their new environment and make up for lost experiences last semester. Before you dive in, though, you’ll need to download an app to receive passes for events, so check out these online instructions.
The 50-plus offerings and activities can be found on the Second Year Appreciation Week website, but read below for some of the highlights.
Tuesday, October 12
On Tuesday, October 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., second-year students can pick up exclusive stickers from the first floor of the HUB. Nothing screams being a college student more than a laptop decorated with stickers.
