Did you know... that incoming freshmen to the University of Pennsylvania's College of Arts and Sciences can register for courses and communicate with academic advisors face-to-face before the fall semester begins without stepping foot on campus? Thanks to a series of live webcasts, participants can submit questions before and during the webcasts, and students will be able to access the archives later. College Dean Dennis DeTurck says this is "so that our students begin to engage with the important questions they need to consider on their way in."
