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 x3-4043, email her at chatzitz@kutztown.edu or drop your items at Office of Student Involvement in MSU 153.

The Kutztown University softball team rebounded
after a first-game loss to defeat West Virginia Wesleyan twice as the Golden Bears won the NCAA Division II Atlantic Super Regional for the first time in school history. The two victories, by scores of 1-0 and 5-1, also lifted the team to 50 wins, the first time KU has reached that mark. Columbia, NJ-resident Mary Kociencki started both games inside the circle for Kutztown and held the WV Wesleyan Bobcats scoreless for the first 12 innings of work and allowed just one total run in the two wins.
