Connections Links and Assistant Link
Links are Penn College students hired to assist
with the coordination and implementation of the Connections program, Penn
College’s summer orientation. Through small and large group interactions, Links
help prepare first-year, transfer and non-traditional students and their guests
to become members of the Penn College community. They are called upon to present
programs, lead tours, and help coordinate check-in and out for the program.
Links are expected to serve as role models for program participants and they
must be flexible, willing to learn and to accept responsibility. A high level of
motivation, enthusiasm and dedication is also required of a Link in order to
ensure the success of the Connections Program. The student selected for the
Assistant Link position will provide additional support to the Student
Activities and Residence Life Offices through assigned tasks as well as on-site
coordination.
Links will also participate in fun and interactive training sessions in the weeks leading up to Connections. Some training events may include: country retreats, community service opportunities and teambuilding challenges.
