College Welcome Day 2015

On Sunday, August 23, 2015, the Eberly College of Science welcomed more than 760 incoming freshman to Penn State. Our newest students were introduced to the college community with a day of activity led by NEXUS (Network for EXcellence in Undergraduate Science), a group of upperclassmen dedicated to helping new students transition to college. The day was capped by an extravaganza hosted by the college.  Faculty and staff were encouraged to bring their families to spend time with the new students, play icebreaker games, conduct fun science experiments with the Office of Outreach, dress up for fun photos in a photo booth sponsored by the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, and enjoy delicious Creamery ice cream. The fun-filled festival also included an exclusive peek at the science clubs before the whole university involvement fair.  Welcome to the science family, Class of 2019!
