Penn faculty across several schools and departments gathered with community members on Monday afternoon in front of College Hall for a demonstration in support of academic freedom. 

This was the first time the event has occurred since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since its inception, students involved in the Penn & Slavery Project have researched the impact of slavery on the University’s campus, finances, and medical school, among other aspects. 

Penn will host 1vyG, the largest conference for first-generation, low-income Ivy League students, from Feb. 24-26. 

Student groups plan Lunar New Year festivities, with hopes for the University to initiate celebrations on its own. 

The letter, from “deeply concerned” faculty members, was sent to University administrators on Friday, detailing their support of student protest. 

Students who attend the conference will have the opportunity to participate in panels with notable speakers, attend professional workshops, and explore a career fair.

The conference will be held at Penn for the first time since 2018, which attracted 350 attendees, including 275 students from other universities.
