PFEW Teens Get a Student's-Eye View of 'degrees that work'
Published 08.08.2012
High schoolers participating in Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week have gotten an authentic taste of college life since their Sunday arrival: living in campus housing, attending lectures, collaborating on projects with their classmates and eating dining-hall food. On Wednesday, they were treated to an even keener look of what makes Penn College such a renowned place at which to craft a career. After a presentation by two admissions representatives, groups fanned out among all eight of the college's academic schools for hands-on activities with faculty/staff and students – from a scavenger hunt to management of a major metropolitan construction project, from a plastics laboratory to the latest applications for information technology.
