Student Affairs this week renewed the annual “Hot Dog, You’re Here” event, a popular start-up activity that focuses on providing the campus family (especially those members who may be missing home) the opportunity to connect with faculty, staff, Penn College support services … and, of course, dogs! For 90 minutes Wednesday evening, Rose Street Commons was filled with friendly faces, information tables, food and an ice cream truck, allowing students a huggable entrée into the fall semester.
