Penn State Mont Alto took a three-pronged approach to getting second-year students engaged on campus. In the Faculty Connections program, faculty take second-year students to lunch to build informal relationships outside the classroom. In the Advisor Connections program, students who meet with advisors receive bookstore gift cards. And in the Student Connections program, students participate in guided study groups in the second-year courses in our Nursing, Physical Therapy Assistant, and Occupational Therapy Assistant programs.
