Become an OPA!

Applications are now open for the Orientation Peer Advisor (OPA) role. OPAs are engineering upperclassmen who connect with incoming students over the summer and during NSO to help them get acclimated to Penn. OPAs are trained to mentor incoming students and assist with registration and general questions. This is a volunteer (unpaid) position, but benefits include the opportunity for early move-in and exclusive OPA merch.

Students are welcome to contact Marina Ceneviva (mceneviv@seas) if they have any questions or would like to recommend a friend.

Graduation

NOTICE TO ALL CBE SENIORS 

As we come to the close of advanced registration, I ask that you each send me a list of your spring course plans. I want to make sure you are all taking the classes that you need to graduate in Spring.
Please send me:
1. The list of courses you plan to take
2. Please let me know if you plan to declare a minor or concentration before graduation
3. Please let me know if you plan to go part time in the Spring
4. Please let me know if you plan to finish in summer or fall (which means you can still participate in the May ceremony).
 
Please note, the Spring undergraduate commencement ceremony will be Saturday, May 17, 2025. Mark your calendars: https://events.seas.upenn.edu/commencement/
