Two popular fall events at Pennsylvania College of Technology have been merged into a singular Homecoming & Family Weekend, to be held this year from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. The college traditionally held Parent & Family Weekend in late September, followed by Homecoming a few weeks later. “We knew there was overlap,” explained Kimberly R. Cassel, the college’s director of alumni relations.
