Are you headed to Penn State this fall for your first year of college and reside in Montgomery County, Bucks County, or Philadelphia? If so, we want to invite you and your parents to our annual First Year Sendoff, co-hosted by the Penn State alumni association chapters of Montgomery County, Bucks County, and Philadelphia. It takes place on Sunday, August 6th from 11:30AM to 3:00 PM. This is a free event for all incoming first year students to any of Penn State's 20 campuses and their families.

This year's event will be held on the Penn State Abington Campus.

Incoming first-year students will separated into groups by the campuses they will be attending. First years and their families will enjoy a pizza and salad lunch. Then first years will get questions answered by current students and embark on a scavenger hunt around the campus learning more about Penn State on the hunt. Afterwards everyone will come back for time to mix and mingle and enjoy dessert.

Parents: Come and ask questions about Penn State and meet other Penn State parents. We will be holding programs for first time Penn State parents including a financial aid Q&A and a session presented by current Penn State Parents about helping them navigate the complexities of first year campus life including what to expect on move-in day, how to choose a meal plan, when to start looking and how to find an apartment, how to get football tickets, and so much more.

If you need additional information, please contact Dan at president@psumontco.com.

Please RSVP here by Monday, July 31st. We look forward to meeting you and sending you away to college in true “We Are” fashion.
