Pennsylvania College of Technology’s three-day Parent & Family Weekend, in which hundreds of participants joined with their favorite students to help celebrate the institution's Centennial, offered a packed calendar of activities that included informal access to the president and senior administration, entertainment, food, games, tours and a popular "mocktail" competition. – Photos by Abdullah H.

"Totemic Figures" beckons further investigation of "Those of Us Still Living," on exhibit through Oct. 1. One of James Arendt's daughters is depicted in a piece titled "Harper (Firecracker)." Penny Griffin Lutz, gallery manager, embroidered the artworks' titles on denim as an ingenious alternative to the gallery's standard printed labels.

Penn College's entry into NCAA play continued Tuesday night with a 4-1 men's soccer victory over Alfred State College. The win, which takes the Wildcats to 2-0 on the young fall season, followed women's volleyball and soccer in a series of early-semester "NCAA Kickoff" events to engage fans and spread the athletic excitement across campus. – Photos by Larry D.

A Meet the Artist Reception is set for 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, featuring a gallery talk at 5:30 p.m.

The campus community cheered Penn College's new affiliation with the NCAA in the first of several Wildcat "kickoff" events starting this past weekend. Giveaways (including sunglasses and temporary tattoos), halftime competitions, a Fan Zone and concessions were featured, beginning with women's volleyball against Lycoming College at 5 p.m.

Penn College students seeking paying jobs and personal enrichment found a varied menu at the ninth annual Fall FIESTA (Friends, Involvement, Employment and Socializing on a Tuesday Afternoon) and the corresponding Part-Time Job Fair, at which employers and nonprofits alike served up a smorgasbord of spare-time opportunities.

The Tinkerbells, representing Lancaster and York halls, topped two of the day's four events (kickball and dodgeball) to amass 40 points and win Penn College's inaugural "Wildcat Wars" competition Saturday. The team managed to hold off the "V Squad Mafia," from The Village at Penn College, which placed second in three events to finish close behind with 37 points.
