Brandt (wearing a blue Link shirt), a web and interactive media major from Cashtown, helps smiles erupt during some serious Quizzo competition.The Connections orientation program continues through the summer, giving students and their guests a comprehensive welcome to Penn College. Small-group interaction allows students to get to know the campus – and one another – as they (and their parents) ease the growing pains of transition. While daytime sessions cover a variety of important topics relating to college life, there is ample time to unwind with board games, playing cards, trivia and other icebreakers. And who better to help document the after-hours fun than an in-the-know student?
