Penn State's Irvin Hall

“Dear Irvin” A note from your faculty adviser Fall 2017 Dear Irvin Hall residents: Welcome to a new school year at Penn State!  If you are here then you have shown that you have what it takes to prosper at Penn State, congratulations!  Irvin Hall, the Special Living Option of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, has been around a long time and many very successful people have passed through this dormitory over the years.  The path to success is easier in Irvin because you have unique resources to help you find the proper balance between your studies, your community activities and your entertainment.  By living in Irvin, you will get help finding that proper balance through required social, academic and community service events.  Still, you need to put in some effort in order to take full advantage.  Be alert for email, Facebook, and posted messages in the lobby so you know what’s expected of you.  Get involved and be thankful for the opportunities afforded you.  By f
