On Friday April 23, 2010, about 40 students from Shaw Middle School will become honorary college students at Penn’s campus. Throughout the day, we will have a keynote speaker, a mock management class, lunch at 1920 commons, a tour, and a student panel on college life.

The primary goal of the event is to excite students about the college experience, in the hopes that they will be motivated to work harder in middle/high school and strive for a college education. The secondary goal is to bring students from a variety of groups together for a University-wide service project.

We are inviting students and student groups to co-sponsor our event. There are one-hour shifts from about 9am to 2pm, but we encourage students to sign up for as many shifts as they can. On top of that, we hope that our co-sponsors can spread the word about the event and help with the actual planning if they’re interested. Click HERE to sign up for a volunteer shift.
