A Penn education doesn’t end at graduation. A Penn education cultivates curiosity about the world, an inquisitive outlook, and a love of learning—no matter how long it’s been since you’ve set foot in a classroom. And if you can’t come back to campus to find out about all the latest advances in knowledge being created at the University, don’t worry—Penn will come to you.
In 2019 and 2020, the Penn to You program will bring events featuring star faculty to cities around the country and the world for discussions on some of the most pressing issues of our time. There, in addition to hearing about the latest research and scholarship from innovative academics, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded Penn alumni and friends from the region.
Each Penn to You event will feature thoughtful, in-depth discussions on the issues everyone is talking about. On October 16, panelists in Chicago will discuss how digital analytics and the use of data has led to incredible new innovations, but also made us fundamentally rethink issues of privacy. Groundbreaking research at the intersection of health care, engineering, and technology will be the focus in Houston on October 22 and in Dallas on October 23. On November 4, Penn travels to London, where panelists will discuss artificial intelligence and the varied technological and ethical concerns surrounding it. On February 12, the complex and interconnected world of global politics will be on the docket in Miami, while issues of social justice will be at the forefront of the conversation on March 3 in Silicon Valley. And on March 5 in Seattle, researchers will discuss new frontiers in energy science and policy and how those advances will impact our environment.
