Dear Friends,
Chair, Trustee Development Committee
A new year and a fresh semester are here—and what an exciting time to be part of the Penn community! I’m inspired by the incredible generosity of alumni and friends who have fueled groundbreaking research, opened doors to new academic opportunities, and enriched student life in countless ways. Penn pride has been evident at events across the country and around the globe, culminating in a Homecoming weekend that celebrated the vibrant arts and culture thriving on campus.
In this issue, you’ll find stories that show the true impact of your support—from pioneering advances in health care powered by AI to graduate fellowships shaping the next generation of scholars and leaders. Penn continues to prove how higher education can change lives and create a better world for all.
Thank you for all you do to help Penn thrive—and I hope to see you at an event soon!
Sincerely,
Wendy Holman, W’97
Chair, Trustee Development Committee
