We want all students to have a positive and productive experience as they pursue their educational and professional goals at Penn State.”

The Academic and Career Services Fair will introduce students to a wide variety of opportunities, programs, organizations, and services available to them as students at University Park. Among the resources with representatives participating in the fair: Penn State Career Services; Penn State Learning; academic programs in the College of Education, including Rehabilitation & Human Services, Education & Public Policy, Science Education, and Special Education; the Education Library (Paterno, 5th floor); and representatives from the College of Education alumni and scholarship offices.
