Are you headed to Penn State this fall for your first year of college at Penn State? If so, we want to invite you and your parents to our annual First Year Sendoff, co-hosted by the Penn State alumni association chapters of Montgomery County, Bucks County, and Philadelphia. It takes place on Sunday, July 26th from 10:00AM to 3:00 PM. This is a free event for all incoming first year students to any of Penn State's 20 campuses and their families.

This year's event will be held on the Penn State Abington Campus.

Incoming first-year students will separated into groups by the campuses they will be attending. First years and their families will enjoy a catered lunch. Then first years will get questions answered by current students and embark on an activity around the campus to learn more about Penn State. Afterwards everyone will come back for time to mix and mingle.

Parents: Come and ask questions about Penn State and meet other Penn State parents. We will be holding programs for first time Penn State parents including a financial aid Q&A and a session presented by current Penn State Parents about helping them navigate the complexities of first year campus life including what to expect on move-in day, how to choose a meal plan, when to start looking and how to find an apartment, how to get football tickets, and so much more.
