Penn College’s Field House is a hub of opportunity as 41 student organizations and 15 employers invite students’ interest.
Nearly 350 students ventured to the recent Club & Part-Time Job Fair, where 41 student organizations and 15 local employers greeted them with a wealth of opportunities beyond the classroom.
“It was great to see so many connections being made and students enjoying themselves!” said Mallory L. Weymer, director of student engagement.
The early-September event was hosted in the Field House by the college’s Student Engagement and Career Services offices to help students meet with peers and potential employers.
“Students gained access to flexible, resume-building jobs that fit around their class schedules,” said Shelley L. Moore, senior director of the college’s Center for Career Design. “Local businesses benefited from meeting motivated student workers ready to contribute while in the area.”
They also learned how fellow tomorrow makers are pursuing a wide variety of passions on campus: From motorsports to music makers, and chess matches to robot battles, Penn College’s student organizations offer many means to get involved.
Students find many opportunities on campus and in the community.
