INAUGURATION
Welcome Dr. Gutmann
The entire Penn community is invited to celebrate the inauguration of
our eighth President, Amy Gutmann. During the multi-day Inaugural celebration
an array of events across campus—including the formal Inauguration
Ceremony in Irvine Auditorium and a special symposium—will provide
opportunities for everyone to welcome our president as she officially
assumes her new role at Penn.
The Inaugural Symposium on Oct. 15 will
bring issues central to Gutmann’s
distinguished scholarship to the Penn campus and set an important theme
for the Inauguration. Experts on five panels, the majority drawn from
Penn’s own faculty, will discuss and debate how universities everywhere
can rise to the challenge of upholding and strengthening core democratic
values in a diverse global community.
We invite you to share in this historic
moment and to honor a distinguished scholar and devoted teacher as
we welcome Amy Gutmann into our community.
