Faculty Senate — Advocate and Watchdog>

The Faculty Senate Needs YOU

“I am confident that the Penn faculty will continue and even strengthen their service to the University community—whether it be on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, other Senate committees, University Council, Council Committees, or the many other opportunities to serve. Our faculty recognizes the value of giving something back to the University over and above their outstanding research and teaching. I encourage our deans to reward this service.”

Dr. Amy Gutmann
President, University of Pennsylvania

"Along with my greetings and best wishes for the new academic year, I ask that you keep this in mind:  As you contemplate your good fortune at holding a position on Penn’s faculty, remember that the opportunities you enjoy to pursue freely your research and teaching with such outstanding students and colleagues are not self-maintaining. They depend upon our sustained, collective attention to ever-changing challenges and opportunities, both locally and beyond.  If you haven’t already joined with the Faculty Senate this year in meeting these challenges and opportunities, please consider doing so. We need you. "
