What are PHINS?
PHINS (Peers Helping Incoming New Students) are New Student Orientation leaders who are trained to aid incoming first-year, transfer, FGLI, international, and exchange students with their academic, cultural, and social adjustment to life at Penn. This interaction primarily occurs during Quaker Days and NSO.
Members of PHINS are introduced to and work closely with faculty, staff, administrators, and most importantly, peers. The PHINS experience allows students to learn more about themselves and Penn along with the opportunity to make many lasting friendships with both new students and other PHINS.
