A welcoming wave from the Connections Links as they take the stage in the Klump Academic Center Auditorium. Fueling up for the day’s events, students and their families enjoy nourishment and conversation in the Keystone Dining Room. The sixth (and final) two-day session of Connections, Penn College’s orientation program, concludes Thursday. Two one-day sessions remain: July 30, for adult learners, and Aug. 17, a last-minute informational opportunity for students who didn’t catch an earlier event (Welcome Weekend activities begin Aug. 18). The summerlong orientation process gives incoming students the ability to network with fellow newcomers and offers parents the opportunity to finalize remaining questions. A comprehensive overview of campus life and academic expectations, the popular experience is facilitated by Student Activities, with the support of numerous other campus offices, and 12 student leaders known as “Connections Links.”
