Playing with pups, crafting dorm décor, and enjoying the activities of Friday Night Fest in Rose Street Commons were among a wealth of activities available to students as they continued settling in to the fall semester.
Friday Night Fest brought inflatables, yard games, live music and more to help students unwind and connect with others before classes began on Monday. On Saturday, Deck Out Your Dorm provided the opportunity to pot up succulents and paint small masterpieces. And Wednesday brought the return of a much-loved tradition: Hot Dog, You’re Here. Employees brought their canine pals to campus to spread cheer to students.
Penn College’s photo editor, Alexandra Butler, was there to capture it all. (And she’ll continue following the fun with Wildcat Wars and more.)
Two students take on the challenge of painting each other. So far, so good!
