to 3401 Market).
His successor at the Club is John Dougherty, a former director of catering
for Penn Dining Services (1978-85) and the inaugural manger of Wharton's
Steinberg Conference Center who then managed ten other conference centers
nationwide for ARA Services. Most recently he has been vice president/gen-eral
manager of International House.
At Kelly Writer's House...

past year, has become Resident Coordinator of the Kelly Writers House at
Penn.
She succeeds Kerry Sherin, who moved up this fall to become the House's
first full-time director.
Ms. Starr was a Centennial Honors Scholar and an English Department Writing
Fellow at Barnard, where she was instrumental in launching the Columbia
University Women's Collective and the Ethnic Studies program. As an undergraduate
she also did editorial work for Knopf's Chic Simple Books, Grolier's Orchard
Books, and The New Yorker. She joined Penn in 1996 as program coordinator
of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Center, with responsibility for events, advising
and publications including a resource guide and an alumni directory.
As RC, Ms. Starr will manage the day-to-day operations of the House,
working with students, faculty and staff to develop and run programs and
collaborations. She will also be the Producer of "Live at the Writers
House," which airs monthly on WXPN 88.5 FM.
The New Director: In her new post Kerry Sherin will be responsible
for long-range planning, program development, external relations, staff,
development, and budget and facilities planning. She will work with Dr.

an ongoing effort to endow its program.
