HAZLETON, Pa. — High school students or students looking to transfer from another institution are invited to visit Penn State Hazleton for an on-campus open house from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5. 

The open house will include a presentation from an admissions counselor, a campus tour, and opportunities to have individual questions about academic programs, campus life and more answered by current students, faculty, and staff.
