Penn State World Campus hosts a reception each semester at the University Park campus for our graduating students and their families. This celebration allows us to meet in person after semesters of working together at a distance and to celebrate your remarkable achievements. It is in addition to your commencement ceremony.
This fall’s reception will be held on Saturday, December 21, at The Penn Stater Hotel & Conference Center from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Graduating students and their families are invited to stop by this open-house reception whenever it's convenient.
