The IUP Learning Commons is looking forward to the second annual Fall Fest: Patio Party! scheduled for Wednesday, September 4, 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. on the Stabley Patio. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the Career and Professional Development Center, IUP Libraries, and the University College.

Attendees will be able to stop by various tables to meet members of the departments housed in the IUP Libraries, learn more about the programs and services they offer, and understand how they can help you to achieve your academic and career goals. There will be food, festivities, and lots of giveaways.

Kelsey Thompson, associate director of the IUP CPDC, is excited to kick off the fall semester with this event that involves collaboration across multiple departments. "After such a great inaugural event last fall, I am looking forward to Fall Fest again this year and believe it will be a great way to kick off the semester. Our team and the other departments participating are looking forward to meeting students, so we can share how we can support them throughout their time at IUP and in finding their success thereafter. We have a fun afternoon planned full of giveaways and free food—come and see us to learn more!"
