Proseminars
NSO 2008 > Proseminars
Sponsored by the Provost's Office, Proseminars are short, one-time sessions with members of Penn's faculty that take place during NSO. They will give you an
opportunity to explore a variety of subjects before classes begin.
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 2, 2008.
