Welcome to the DMV!

The Student Affairs committee maintains direct engagement with current Penn Staters – those who are from the DMV and looking to relocate. To do this, Student Affairs hosts events and activities that engages local students planning to get to Penn State, as well as opportunities for current students to connect with Penn Staters living in the region. 

Student Break Bus Trips

For student breaks during Thanksgiving, end of winter session and spring break, Penn State DC offers buses between University Park and the DMV for returning students. View the 2024-2025 student bus schedule here.

Student Sendoff

This annual event is a celebration for new Penn Staters from the DMV. This BBQ-style event offers students and their families an opportunity to engage with the Penn State community before starting their college careers.

Student Engagement

Outside of hosting events, Student Affairs serves as a resource for current Penn Staters as they navigate the University. Whether you’re home on break or interested in staying connected, we want to support you!
