New students and their families attended Connections sessions in June and July, gaining a leisurely orientation to the Penn College campus before the hubbub of fall. In a schedule that was repeated throughout the summer, college employees and student assistants provided invaluable information on college life, academic challenges, last-minute "to-do lists" and more, all designed to help freshmen and their parents – as well as nontraditional students new to the college – seamlessly transition for the Fall 2010 semester.

First-year students register for Connections with the help of Salvatore Vitko, admissions representative, and Amy S. Lingg, Dining Services marketing assistant.
While their colleagues meet with incoming students in a series of 'Classroom Expectations' sessions, remaining Connections Links – from left, Jordan A. Pennypacker, Katey E. Landry, Justin A. Ball and Matthew Valenzuela – provide parents with some insight on student life.
