of Penn's Accomplishments under Judith Rodin:
- Federally
sponsored research has more than doubled to $570 million, placing
Penn among the top five universities in federal research.
Total research has risen to nearly $700 million, from $280 million
nearly a decade ago.
- Since
1994, Penn faculty have won 284 top awards and honors, including two
Nobel prize winners (in the last three years), three Lasker Award
winners, two National Medals of Science; 28 Guggenheim fellows, 18
members elected to IOM, and 11 elected to National Academy of
Science. Penn now ranks among the top 10 universities with regard
to faculty awards and honors.
- Established
new interdisciplinary, cross-University institutes and centers
in genomics, nanotechnology, cancer research, national safety
and security, and urbanism.
- Annual
fundraising has more than tripled, from $135 million in 1995
to a projected figure for this year of over $400 million.
- Penn's
endowment has more than tripled as well, up from $1.1 billion
in 1993, to a projected $3.5 billion for for 2003.
- Transformed
the undergraduate experience, creating the College House System,
and academic hubs such as Kelly Writers House; launched a new
pilot curriculum; and overhauled undergraduate advising.
- Numbers
of undergraduate applicants to Penn has risen 37 percent, while
the admissions yield is up to 63 percent, meaning Penn is more
and more the first choice of admitted applicants. Only one in
five applicants is selected, up from nearly half in 1993.
- Created
numerous groundbreaking, inter-disciplinary, multischool undergraduate
and graduate and degree programs.
- Penn's
physical environment has been transformed. New buildings
and renovations
that serve the academic mission, including Huntsman Hall, Levine
Hall, Addams Hall, BRBII, and Silverman Hall, among others,
have been completed. Renovations or completion of facilities
that enhance
the student life experience include Pottruck Health and Fitness
Center, Perelman Quad, and the College House renovations. A
campus master plan was created to guide future campus development
for
the next decades.
- Launched
a broadbased neighborhood revitalization effort in partnership
with the community, resulting in a decrease in crime in University
City, cleaner streets, new retail venues, more families moving
into the neighborhood and an increase in home renovations,
increased minority and women owned business participation and
a new pre k-8
neighborhood public school.
- New
facilities that serve both the University and the neighborhood
include Sansom Common, the bookstore, hotel, dining and retail
complex; Freshgrocer supermarket; a new six-screen cinema;
and the new Penn Alexander neighborhood public school.
- Stabilized
the Health System and created Penn Medicine to more fully integrate
the Medical School and the Health System.
- Created
the Penn National Commission on Society, Culture and Community
which sought to understand the problems of contemporary public
discussion and behavior and to foster more engaged and thoughtful
conversations about contemporary social issues. The work of
the Commission was published this fall in a book co-edited by
President
Rodin.
