Virtual events for accepted international students

As an international student, we know you and your family may have a lot of questions about what it means to be a student at Penn State Berks, transitioning to life in the United States, and all the opportunities that await you here.

We are happy invite you and your family to join us in March and in May for two International Zoom meetings with staff and current international students. You are welcome to join us for either meeting or both; they will not be the same, and you do not need to turn on your camera for either meeting). Register now for an international student Zoom meeting!

Because you have been offered admission to Penn State Berks, you will receive email invitations to both of these meetings with details of topics to be covered. In order to attend the meetings, you must register in advance to receive the Zoom log-in information.
