Beginning in Fall 2026, Rosemont College will launch High Impact Fridays, a new initiative designed to create exciting opportunities for students to connect, explore, learn, and engage beyond the traditional classroom. The goal is to provide students with engaging experiences that foster personal growth, professional development, community connection, and real world learning.
What Are High Impact Fridays?
Every Friday, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of voluntary activities and experiences designed to enhance campus life, build community, and make the most of their college experience by going beyond the classroom. Programs will be developed by faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community partners and will be open to all members of the Rosemont community.
No two Fridays will look the same.
Students may find themselves exploring a museum, visiting the Philadelphia Zoo, attending a professional networking event, participating in a service project, hearing from an inspiring guest speaker, attending a wellness retreat, taking part in a creative workshop, touring a local business, or simply enjoying a unique experience with classmates and friends.
High Impact Fridays are about discovering new interests, making meaningful connections, and creating memories that last long after graduation.

ā¢ Trips to museums, cultural institutions, and local attractions

Learning Through Experience
High Impact Fridays reflect Rosemont Collegeās commitment to providing students with meaningful opportunities to learn through experience. Whether participating in a service project, exploring a museum, visiting a business or nonprofit organization, engaging with alumni and industry leaders, or attending a workshop or cultural event, students will have opportunities to connect ideas with action and gain new perspectives on the world around them.
These experiences complement and enrich a Rosemont education by helping students build confidence, develop practical skills, expand professional networks, and discover new interests. Through High Impact Fridays, students will engage with their communities, explore potential career paths, and develop the adaptability, curiosity, and critical thinking skills that are essential for success in todayās world.

The Rosemont Experience
At Rosemont, we believe that no matter what discipline you study, effective communication and problem solving are cornerstones to success. Thatās why students take classes across multiple disciplinesāto learn to approach complex situations from multiple angles. We also recognize the importance of real world experience in preparing you for a career. In fact, every student engages in at least one internship, volunteer effort, or service learning opportunity.
