New Employee Information and Forms

 

Welcome to PennWest Edinboro! We are excited that you have joined us in our vision to be the first choice among students, employers, and the community for excellence in higher education. Your journey begins here and will continue with an onboarding new employee orientation.

This page provides the new employee with information on what you need to do before you report and what you need to bring with you on your first day.

If you have questions, please contact Human Resources at hrfr@pennwest.edu or by calling 814-732-2703 or 814-732-2810.
