You are what makes Penn thrive. You are creative and spirited; inquiring and pragmatic; eco-conscious and entrepreneurial.

This Alumni Weekend, return to campus to reunite with old friends and to see for yourself how Penn Alumni have energized the University — through the arts, through sustainability, and through wellness — to name just a few ways you have made a difference.

Message from Amy Gutmann  

You are a community who understands the importance of health in mind and body; one who has the spirit and creativity to turn fledgling ideas into real world solutions. Individuals who, by the force of their wisdom and drive, fuel a richer world of possibilities.

It's what Penn alumni do every day. In growing numbers everywhere, talented, energetic, and diverse men and women apply intellectual energy, entrepreneurial spirit, and uncommon vision to make a difference in our communities and in our professions; across generations, and around the globe.

This Alumni Weekend, as we explore wellness, sustainability, and the arts, I invite you to share your experiences with people who also share your passions: those who understand the importance of putting thought into action for the greater good.

Renew the bonds of our extended family of alumni, students, and faculty, and recharge yourself with the very best of Penn's minds and hearts. And, as you thrill to the familiar notes of "The Red and Blue," or join your cheering friends in the Parade of Classes, remember: it is you who have made Penn the extraordinary institution it is today.

Come celebrate, and be proud — for all that you have done and will continue to do with Penn in mind, body, and spirit.

Sincerely,

Amy Gutmann
President and Christopher H. Browne
Distinguished Professor of Political Science
