High school students will have four opportunities this summer to attend informal-yet-informative sessions with faculty and other representatives of Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.

The college will host two Spend a Summer Day events, on Friday, July 22, and Friday, Aug. 5. Each begins at 10 a.m. with a Student Services Fair; faculty from the Sam and Irene Black School of Business, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Science, School of Engineering, and the college’s nursing program will be available to talk with and answer questions from students and their parents. Representatives from admissions, financial aid, student activities, and the college’s Honors program also will be on hand.

The fair will be followed by academic, admissions and financial aid presentations, walking tours of campus, and a picnic lunch. The program concludes at 2 p.m.

Two evening events will follow a similar schedule and include a picnic dinner. They begin at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 21, and Thursday, Aug. 4.
