As America’s first university, UPenn has a history and tradition of translating knowledge into social- minded action that dates back to 1740. This tradition of active pragmatism, articulated in founder Benjamin Franklin’s maxim “well-done is better than well-said,” lives today through inclusive policies, innovative work, and the impactful engagement of our faculty, students, and staff.

UPenn is one of the world’s most powerful research and teaching institutions, with a research budget of nearly $1.1 billion and more than 5,000 active faculty members.

Conference Location: Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts
