Fall Welcome is by far our largest Welcome Program, during which we welcome over 9,000 first-year students — not to mention the new transfer and change-of-campus students and the returning students. As a result, we need all the help we can get!

If you really want to start your fall semester off with a bang, join us as a Fall Welcome Leader. You’ll get the inside scoop for all the upcoming events happening across campus.

The full calendar of Fall Welcome events will be published to the Welcome Programs online calendar in the summer. Some of the traditions and signature events you’ll be asked to help out with are listed below:

  • March to the Match
  • Glow Games
  • Rock the Ice
  • Late Night in the HUB
  • Penn State Presents
  • Drag Bingo

Still interested in helping out? Add your name to our interest form and we’ll get in touch with you as soon as outreach begins.
