Summer Involvement Fairs
- The Office of Student Involvement would like to ask the Kutztown community and student groups on campus to please donate any extra promotional items they may have for giveaways at our Involvement Fairs. They will be held during the nine CONNECTIONS programs over the summer. This is a great way to market your department and your group to the incoming first year students, giving them an opportunity to see what you have to offer. What could be easier? You will be recruiting while you are out enjoying the summer, no effort needed! For further information, please contact Petritsa Chatzitziva at x34043 or at chatzitz@kutztown.edu or drop your items at Office of Student Involvement in MSU 153.

Kutztown Borough will be replacing the water main that runs under Kutztown Road.
The construction is expected to start (depending on the weather) at the intersection of College Blvd and Kutztown Road on Jun. 8. They will be closing one side of the road, one section at a time, with flagmen directing traffic around that section. At the end of each day the trench will be filled in and the road opened completely. The excavated section will be passable but won’t have a finished paved surface for a month. The surface will be rough, but passable. The water main will be supplying the Giant being built to the west of campus - the trench will begin at the college and end at the Giant.
