Fall Orientation for New Students . We kick-off the fall semester with our School Picnic on the College Green for students, faculty, staff and families. Families get into the act again in October for GSE Family Day, an opportunity to attend classes and have lunch with the Dean. November brings Taste of the Harvest, a kind of international Thanksgiving feast. In December we warm our students with holiday cheer during finals week with coffee, cocoa and cookies.
Many student organizations hold holiday parties as well.
Spring brings We Love Our Students Week, a heartfelt valentine to students from staff and faculty. In addition to these annual school traditions, our students enjoy happy hours, coffee hours, Phillies games, Swing dancing, the Penn Relays, and a variety of social, cultural and community service activities courtesy of our student organizations.
