Two September events introduced students to the community’s boundless resources, including opportunities for part-time work, on-campus involvement and personal growth.

The third annual Advocacy Fair connected students with on-campus and community organizations that are dedicated to supporting student success, well-being and personal growth.

Students who visited the booths of at least 10 organizations were invited to shop for free at a pop-up thrift shop at the event.

At the Campus Connect: Club & Part-Time Job Fair, members of Penn College’s 65-plus student organizations set up shop to invite new participants. Local employers and nonprofits were also there for those looking to work or volunteer in the community.
