Your SYO Daily Digest

Friday, August 28, 2021

Hi Quakers!

We hope move-in went well for those who moved in yesterday and we welcome the rest of you to campus today!

For today’s weather, we are expecting thunderstorms and rain showers all day, with a high of 78 degrees.

Please wear a mask at all orientation events. Additionally, all students are now required to complete PennOpen Pass daily symptom checks. You may be asked to show a Green Pass at orientation events, so fill out your daily symptom check here.

Haven't been to campus before? Check out this campus map for information about parking garages and street directions. For questions about move-in, go to Residential Services.

In case you need to change your arrival time due to inclement weather or other unforeseen travel challenges, please email living@upenn.edu with any concerns.

If you have any questions or would like more information about any SYO programs, look for our volunteers, the PHINS, all around campus in light blue and dark blue t-shirts, visit www.nso.upenn.edu or email us provost-nso-ai@pobox.upenn.edu.
