Vulcan for a Day

Go beyond the campus tour and experience PennWest like a student. Our Student for a Day program gives high school students an immersive, hands-on look at college life by pairing them with a current student mentor. Participants may attend a class or lab, connect with faculty and students, explore campus facilities, enjoy a meal in the dining hall, and experience the rhythm of a typical day on campus.

Unlike a traditional visit, Student for a Day offers a deeper, authentic perspective on academics, student life, and what it truly feels like to be part of the PennWest community.

Parents and families are welcome to relax in our Lounge and connect with admissions staff during the experience.
