On Friday, April 19, the Penn community gathered to celebrate the monumental success of Making History: The Campaign for Penn. We invite you to continue this celebration with Time to Shine On the Road, a dynamic multimedia program in which President Amy Gutmann takes you into the heart and soul of the University and reveals the transformative power of Penn's Making History Campaign. Thank all of you, near and far, who helped strengthen Penn and our future, and we invite you to visit the Final Report website to learn more about the Campaign’s sweeping impact. Thanks to you, it is truly our time to shine.
