- Develop connections with overall Penn State Mont Alto campus community members and peers.
- Participate in activities that promote self-exploration and personal development.
- Understand and utilize resources that can help them to be academically, personally, and socially successful.
- Gain knowledge of intellectual development skills promoting student success inside and outside the classroom.
- Establish an understanding of their responsibilities as citizens in the Penn State community.
"To sum up the entire Welcome Weekend into one word, I would say 'worthwhile.' It was not only very enjoyable, but it has also helped me to feel more comfortable with my transition from high school to college, and if you ask me; that is a complete win.” Jacob Schaub
