COLLEGE HOUSE EVENTS
Riepe Run Club
Good Company. Great Miles. Lace up your running shoes and join House Director Dr. Smith for the inaugural Riepe Run Club! Whether you're an experienced runner, just getting started, or simply looking for a fun way to stay active, everyone is welcome. Together we'll explore different running routes around campus while building community, supporting one another, and enjoying the outdoors. After each run, stick around for light refreshments including water, granola bars, fruit, hydration packs, and more. The club will meet approximately once a month or every other week based on student interest. Come for the run. Stay for the community. All fitness levels are welcome!
Penn GSE Tutoring Informational
