PASSHE starts new outreach program for high schoolers

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is going to start meeting students where they are.

PASSHE announced it will be hosting nearly 20 events in eastern and western Pennsylvania in the coming weeks to connect with high school students. The initiative is the first outreach effort coordinated among all 10 PASSHE universities.

“Students should be able to consider college in ways that work for them, whether by visiting a campus or connecting with our universities closer to home,” said PASSHE Chancellor Christopher Fiorentino. “The more students can learn about their college options, the better prepared they will be to make a choice that best fits their lives.”

The events begin Sept. 28 in western Pennsylvania and continue Nov. 2 to 10 in the east. The first event will be held at PennWest Edinboro.
