MEPO

What is MEPO?
MEPO, also known as the Multicultural Engineering Program Orientataion, is an exciting three-day introduction to the College of Engineering, the Office of Engineering Diversity, and Penn State.  The program is meant to benefit first-year engineering students attending Penn State in the Fall.  Participants will have a chance to connect with other incoming freshman as well as current undergraduate engineering students attending Penn State - University Park.

MEPO Details
During MEPO, participants stay at the Days Inn Hotel in State College with upper-level MEP
engineering mentors.  Participants accepted to University Park will be able to move into their residence halls on the Wednesday prior to the first day of classes, ahead of other University Park students.  All MEPO activies (meals and housing) are provided by MEP. Participants pay only the $100 regristration fee. (Fee waivers are available for those who demonstrate financial need.)

Why Participate in MEPO?
MEPO participants will:

• Have an upperclassman mentor for their entire first year
• Network with Penn State Alumni and Industry Partners
• Participate in an engineering design competition
• Gain 0.5 credit before their first year even begins
• Have the opportunity to make new friends before Fall classes start
• Become experts working with the Penn State computer systems
• Move into their dorm rooms early (University Park campus only)
