Penn State's Irvin Hall

“Dear Irvin” A note from your faculty adviser Fall 2013 Dear Irvin Hall residents: Welcome to a new school year, one in which you will have ultimate control over how successful it will be!  Each of you came to Penn State for a variety of reasons, whether academic, financial or something else, but none of you would be here if you didn’t have the tools to succeed.  You all have what it takes to prosper here at Penn State and just need to find the proper balance between your studies, your community activities and your entertainment.  You have already made a very wise choice by choosing Irvin--we are very fortunate to have a special living option for those of us in the college of Earth and Mineral Sciences.  By living here you will be assisted in finding that proper balance through required social, academic and community service events.  But, rather than thinking of them as required, look at these events as a path toward success.  Get involved and be thankful for the
