The Penn State Northern NJ Alumni Chapter is pleased to host an Alumni Panel Discussion focused on the College of Engineering. We’re very fortunate to have 4 local alumni in various engineering positions that are spending their evening with us to discuss their careers, Penn State stories, advice, and more. This is a great opportunity for incoming students, current students, recent graduates, engineers looking to change career paths, and those interested in learning more about the College of Engineering. A great networking and mentoring opportunity for all.  This event will take place on Wed, April 7th at 7PM on Zoom. Our 4 alumni volunteers will be asked pre-determined questions in a panel format. To register for this event or questions, please email the Chapter at pennstatenj@gmail.com with your name and preferred email address.

While the last year has changed our lives dramatically, one thing hasn’t changed – Penn State’s commitment to fighting pediatric cancer! THON will be a virtual event held February 19-21 and needs your support more than ever.
