Welcome back from Spring Break. We hope you had a chance to take a break and are ready for the last half of the semester. If you need assistance or have questions remember SLI and LC's are available to help you.  
 

Accepted Student Day Tabling Opportunity

We wanted to pass this information over to you from Admissions if you were interested in having a table for your student organization at an Accepted Student Day event.

The Accepted Student Days will be on Saturday, March 25th and April 15th.

The resource fair will run from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and we ask that representatives arrive by 10:00 am. Space is limited, so we will assign tables on a first come first serve basis. If your organization is interested in having a table at the fair on March 25th, please sign-up via this link. You can also sign-up ahead of time for the April 15th event here.

Any questions can be sent to: klehnert@wcupa.edu
