Proseminars

NSO 2007 > Proseminars

 

Proseminars are short, one-time sessions with members of Penn's faculty sponsored by the Provost's Office during NSO. They will give you an opportunity to explore a variety of subjects before the start of classes. Please select courses either from the brochure mailed out in July or the listing available here. This page will have the most up-to-date information on changes and cancellations. All Proseminars take place on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 4, 2007.
