New Students Welcomed to Penn State

Penn State Engineering welcomes its new class of freshmen students this week. The Women in Engineering and Multicultural Engineering Programs kicked off the new semester yesterday with day-long orientation events for their new members.

New students in WEPO participated in ice breaking activities like building balloon towers, attending a picnic at Spring Creek Park and playing broomball in the Pegula Ice Arena.

MEPO took a slightly more serious approach to orientation with design project competitions in the Hammond Building. However, the MEPO members will get their chance at broomball tonight at Pegula.
