Provost Vincent Price announced the appointment of the second cohort of Penn Fellows.

The Penn Fellows program, begun last year, provides leadership development to select Penn faculty members in mid-career.  It includes opportunities to build cross-campus networks, meet with academic leaders both inside and outside Penn, think strategically about universities and university governance, and interact informally with Penn administrators.
