Alums Advise Students on Career Paths

College alums continue to help students investigate career possibilities through the College Alumni Mentoring Series (CAMS), with events both virtual and on campus. Themes this semester have included entertainment and media; public health and healthcare consulting; and marketing and brand management. Alums share their stories and answer all sorts of student questions about how their liberal arts education has supported their careers.

PWA from Philly to San Francisco

Eight alums returned to campus for the spring Professional Women’s Alliance (PWA) Roundtable, an opportunity for students to learn about the wide variety of career paths possible with a liberal arts degree and to build their networks. In April, PWA held its first satellite event in San Francisco, giving professionally engaged College alums in the area a chance to get together and network.

Ambassador Council Goes (Penn) Forward

Members of the Arts & Sciences Ambassador Council were on hand for President Liz Magill’s Penn Forward event in Los Angeles this winter. Across the United States and in London, Penn Forward gave alums, parents, and friends the chance to meet Magill and connect with Penn and each other.
