The Penn Perspective

The Penn Perspective will be held June 6 and 7, to provide participants with an opportunity to meet and interact with other members of Penn's vast community. This program will attempt to provide insight into some of the complexities of Penn and those attending the program will leave with a better understanding of how the University works. Participants will also complete the program with a greater appreciation for the role they play in this process.

This year we have streamlined the program to a two-day format, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., which will still include the opportunity for you to hear first-hand from Penn's leaders regarding critical aspects of the University's structure and mission.

You can register for the Penn Perspective online at www.hr.upenn.edu/learning. The program will be held in Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall. The registration fee is $50.

Correction: The following information was inadvertently omitted from last week's story on the winners of the AWFA awards.

Lynda Hart Award: Ninah Harris, CAS '01 received the Lynda Hart Award "For making numerous, substantive contributions to enriching the campus environment and raising social consciousness through theater, performance art and the written word. Using the arts as a stage for celebration and an arena for exploring assumptions about race, gender and sexual orientation with a wide range of campus and community, you have brought new levels of understanding and awareness to the University and the West Philadelphia community."

We regret the omission. --Eds.
