We regret that we can’t meet with families on campus this year, but we hope that our programming will give you a glimpse of what is possible for your student at Penn.
Please register for and join us for the following events designed for the families of College of Arts and Sciences students. Zoom links will be provided to those who have registered a few days before the event via email, so please be sure to enter in your email carefully and accurately.
Please also keep in mind that a ticket corresponds to one "user," or computer log-in, and not by individual persons. Therefore, as an example, if you and two family members are using one shared computer/log-in, you will only need one ticket.
All sessions will be recorded and videos of all sessions will be available from November 2 through November 16.
