Family Day
Date & Time: October 18, 2025 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Reese's Cafe, Westgate Building
Current College of IST students and their families are invited to join other IST students, faculty, and staff as part of Penn State Family Weekend. We encourage students to share their IST experience with those closest to them, learn more about the college, and connect with others across the University community.
Separate registration is not required to attend the IST Family Day event. However, attendees are encouraged to register on the Penn State Family Weekend website to make the most of their weekend and secure access to certain events that require advanced tickets or reservations.
