Second-Year Orientation (SYO) Events
Second-Year Orientation and Second-Year Day
In 2024, the second-year students will have their own events running from Sunday, August 25 to Friday, August 30. Second-Year Orientation is a way for returning students to again be introduced to the amazing clubs, activities, and resources Penn has to offer, while also having fun with your friends and fellow classmates!

PennTracks Tours are free guided tours led by our PHINS student leaders throughout the city of Philadelphia. Second-year students are welcome to participate in the PennTracks Tours during SYO.
Second-Year students will be invited to enjoy a dessert reception at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA)! Join us for a night of dancing, take a look at various exhibits from the United States’ first art museum & school, and delicious desserts!
