We Are…Somebody – Why we chose to stay at Berks


Some students know from the time they start their Penn State application that they will be graduating from the Berks campus. Others make a “last minute” change of major so they can stay at Berks. Current Penn State Berks students will share their unique stories of why they chose to complete their degrees at Penn State Berks in this panel-style presentation.

This LionSide Chat will be presented by:
Becky Eckenrode, Associate Director of Admissions
Penn State Berks students: Ja’Nique Jules, Tyler McGrogan, Adam Brezina, Ifeoluwa “Ife” Ogunyinka, Alyson Holder, Samantha “Sammie” Oxenreider

College Life: balancing social and academic involvement

The purpose of this seminar is for students making the transition from high school to college to ask questions and gain insight from a current student. What we hope to provide for this particular audience are ways to balance academics and a social life, how to become involved in clubs and student groups, and information about on-campus opportunities.

This LionSide Chat will be presented by Kayla Finkelstein
Sophomore, Penn State Berks Agribusiness Management Major
