Dear Penn Community,
Thank you for your spirit of volunteerism. Your continued support of the many volunteer opportunities offered at the University is unprecedented.
Many benefit from your willingness to share. We receive many expressions of gratitude from community members and agencies we have partnered with.
The University community continues to work towards being good neighbors in our shared community. We thank you for your overwhelming support and for your generosity.

Penn VIPS Annual Change Drive: Through March 18
Each year, Penn VIPS hosts an annual change drive to benefit local nonprofit and agencies dealing with unusual disasters. Last year, over $1,000 was donated to Partners in Health to benefit Haitian earthquake victims.
This year, the Dropsite Committee has identified The Philadelphia Council for Fathers & Families (PCFF) formed in 2009 as the result of a policy perspective series hosted by the National Center on Fathers & Families at the University of Pennsylvania. PCFF consists of private and public organizations that support and advocate on behalf of responsible fathers and their families. The funds will be used to support the efforts of the organization. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Join the Penn VIPS/Business Services Scholarship Committee
Each year, a small group of volunteers provides non-tuition scholarships to offset college cost to graduating, college bound high school students with a history of service. The committee solicits and reviews applications, selects the award winners and plans the reception where the winners are recognized. The committee meets now through June approximately every three weeks. Meetings culminate with the annual awards reception usually held the first Tuesday in June. To join this exciting committee, e-mail Isabel Mapp at sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu

The prevalence of science and scientists in the Philadelphia region will be showcased, capturing the imagination of the public by reaching into local neighborhoods and highlighting the science happening around them on a daily basis.
