The goal of the Office of Federal Affairs is to advance the interests of the University of Pennsylvania in Washington, DC. The Office is charged with monitoring and promoting general and targeted opportunities to expand support for federal policies and programs upon which the University depends. It also provides general policy support, analysis, research, and advice to senior University and school administrators regarding public policies affecting Penn and higher education in general. On behalf of the University, the Office in particular monitors and seeks to impact federal policies regarding research and its funding, student aid, tax policy, and other issues of interest to the University. The Office also seeks to raise Penn’s profile in Washington and nationally by promoting and publicizing the University’s mission and activities. We work very closely with Pennsylvania’s Congressional Delegation.
