The Class of 2025 started its time at Penn with the first fully in-person semester since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and with a University president who would soon become a United States ambassador.
Four years later, the class is graduating from a University in the national spotlight after a few semesters of heightened campus activism, a presidential resignation, federal action, and further administrative turmoil — and a school that produced the current president of the United States and one of his closest political allies.
This year’s graduating class has seen as many Penn presidents as Spring Flings — four — experienced semesters of activism, high-profile lawsuits, and political scrutiny, and faced one of the most pivotal elections in recent memory.
In between going to classes, the Class of 2025 has broken schoolwide and nationwide sports records, helped with innovative research, spoken out for causes it cares about, shined on stages around campus, and showed the community — both at Penn and beyond — what matters most to its students.
Read below to look back at the Class of 2025’s time at Penn.
