The Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Programs The Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Programs welcomes everyone to a new academic year. Our primary focus is implementing the University's legal responsibilities in affirmative action, equal opportunity and nondiscrimination. We educate members of the University community about these responsibilities through our web page and through our education and consultation efforts. We also receive complaints and concerns of prohibited discrimination under Penn's Policy on Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action, and Non-discrimination, which is located online at www.upenn.edu/affirm-action. We invite you to join us in the upcoming events we are planning for the Penn community. Along with several other offices and individuals, we are planning other programs as well, such as a Disability Awareness Month Program to be held some time in October. Also, in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology and the Department of English, we are planning a lecture series on Contemporary Issues in Native America designed to bring leading Native American scholars to campus to educate the Penn community about topical concerns in Native America. The lectures will be held in the fall and spring semesters. POW-MIA Commemoration Ceremony, September 20 at 8:30 a.m. at the Memorial Flagpole on 33rd Street and Smith Walk. Second Annual Veterans Day Reception, November 11 from 4:30-6 p.m. Location to be announced. We invite you to contact our office at (215) 898-6993 (Voice) or 215-898-7803 (TDD) and visit our web page at www.upenn.edu/affirm-action. The office is located at 3600 Chestnut Street, Sansom Place East, Suite 228. We wish everyone a successful and rewarding academic year! --Valerie Hayes, Executive Director
