GSE Security Officer Edwin Ramos Honored for Outstanding Service

May 16, 2013 – Penn GSE is proud to announce that Security Officer Edwin Ramos recently received two awards in recognition of his outstanding service to the University of Pennsylvania and its students.

In honor of these awards, Officer Ramos was recognized as an integral part of an outstanding law enforcement presence in University City during a ceremony at Penn’s Nursing School. “Officer Ramos is a hard worker and very outgoing.

A Day in the Life

Posted by Kate Conroy '20

Seeing other Masters students in my cohort after school is great because we get to share stories from the day and give each other feedback on problems we’re having in our classroom. It’s so important to have other teachers in your life. We will never be able to come up with all the solutions we need on our own, and often, the thing we really need the most is someone else’s perspective

Moving to Philly

Posted by Mike Hogan '20

I moved to Philadelphia this past summer from Buffalo, in upstate New York, and before that spent a year living in Boston. One of the things that I love most about living here, beyond the affordability, is the strong sense of community that I felt in Buffalo with the amenities, diversity, and resources of Boston.
