Impact

  • "Staying connected to GSE and to Penn has so many benefits, but at the most basic level, I think it is important to stay connected to continue to construct, advance, and enhance your own personal and social identity. Penn in many ways can and does define who you are to the outside world, and that identity can help your career, expand your network, and advance your presence in the world."

    Hoopes Wampler, GRD’13
    Associate Vice President for Alumni Relations, University of Pennsylvania

  • “I want to get to know alumni and students. I want to learn about their journeys through graduate school and in the job market, and I want to be able to tap into their original talents and experiences to help build connections.”

    Michael Sorrell, GRD’15
    Member, Penn GSE Board of Overseers
