Penn State Wilkes-Barre held its annual orientation program for first year and transfer students on Aug. 20. Current students and recent alumni served as orientation leaders. Jack Chambers of Creative Educational Concepts led the orientation leaders and first-year students through a series of games and activities designed to stimulate conversation, build relationships and welcome them to Penn State Wilkes-Barre. Students participated in team building and leadership exercises. Orientation continued the next day with a convocation and introduction to faculty and staff.
