#BehrendBound

Welcome!

At Penn State Behrend, you’ll find all of the opportunities of a major university and the support of a friendly studentcentered college. Our faculty and staff are here to help you learn, grow, and succeed—both in and out of the classroom.

Your education begins with Welcome Week activities, which will introduce you to campus and the many offices and services that exist for you. I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities that await you as a student, beginning with these events.

The programs and activities described in this booklet have been developed to smooth your transition to Penn State Behrend and the larger University.

Throughout the academic year, the college offers an array of co-curricular activities, including nationally known speakers, artists, and musicians; student organizations, and workshops that explore everything from careers and human relations to leadership and fitness. I also hope you will join me in rooting for our 24 varsity sports teams!

WELCOME TO PENN STATE BEHREND

Dear New Student!

I am confident that you will find Penn State Behrend to be a very special place where you’ll have the resources and support to grow and develop. We believe in you and your potential, and every one of us wants you to succeed. We all wish you the best of luck in your collegiate career.

Sincerely,
