Share Your Stories With Penn Back Then

While you’re on campus, look for our roving Penn Back Then reporters. Penn Back Then is an oral history project begun by Penn Arts & Sciences in May 2005. At campus celebrations each year, alumni from all decades can contribute their notable anecdotes and remembrances to this audio scrapbook—and now Penn Back Then is on Instagram! Here’s a story from Alumni Weekend 2022; we hope you’ll add yours this year.
