Spring 2012 View this issue > [.pdf]	"This spring, as our Junior Class tossed their skimmer hats high into the skies on Hey Day, we were also witnessing another kind of momentous transition: the blossoming of our Making History Campaign into a University transformed, revealing the enlarged possibilities of what higher education can do for our society and world. How far can we go? The sky's the limit."
Fall 2011 View this issue > [.pdf, 1 MB]	"In September, the Making History Campaign reached the $3.5 billion mark. Thanks to our alumni, friends, families, foundations and corporate donors, we achieved the overall financial goal of Penn's largest campaign ever, and we did it more than a year ahead of schedule. The meaning behind this milestone is evident in every corner of campus. From the naming of the nation’s first school of medicine, to the appointment of Ezekiel Emanuel as our 13th Penn Integrates Knowledge professor, to the power of Penn research to advance treatments for rare diseases, improve investment strategies, and develop sustainable energy resources, Penn is clearly a university on the move."

We are seeing today the exponential growh of possibilities as students and faculty collaborate across schools, centers, and disciplines as a potent force for good in the world. Call it Penn to the higher power -- the ultimate urban university of the 21st century. What does this higher power mean? For Penn, it means greater innovations in knowledge with farther reaching impacts. For alumni and friends, it means expanded opportunities to make a difference. For all of us, it means a larger sense of leading in the world."
Winter 2011 View this issue > [.pdf, 654KB]	"At a great university, diversity and excellence go together. Penn's meteoric rise from excellence to eminence -- funded by our Making History campaign -- has gone hand in hand with the growing diversity of our student body. Bringing to Penn the full richness of the world's diversity enhances everyone's educational experience and enriches our campus community. Sending out graduates formed by learning collaborations, vibrant dorm-room discussions, and social interchanges colored by diversity changes the world, providing the next generation of leaders for all sectors of society. Diversity builds a better Penn, and it builds a better world."
Summer 2010 View this issue > [.pdf, 1.18MB]	"Inspired by the energy of our history-making Campaign, we have created a new Penn documentary that is coming soon to Penn gatherings near you. In it you will encounter just a few of the 'cast of thousands' who are doing the transformative work that is making Penn a model university for the 21st century -- a dynamic agent of social, economic, and civic progress."
Spring/Summer 2009 View this issue > [.pdf, 3.62MB]	"History-making on a societal level is never the product of one or even a few persons. The conscious shaping of change -- which often involves finding opportunity in crisis -- requires the kind of collaboration, commitment, and engagement that define Penn. In this second year of our record-breaking Making History campaign, a time of upheaval throughout the globe, Pennsylvanians are working together and creating a better world."
Fall/Winter 2008 View this issue > [.pdf, 3.62MB]	"Who could have imagined that when Penn set out to make history, our nation would do the same -- not only in electing its first African-American president but also in confronting a financial crisis, the full magnitude of which is not yet known?"
Spring/Summer 2008 View this issue > [.pdf, 3.62MB]	"To gain momentum on an upward trajectory you must be propelled by a powerful force. And that’s exactly what we have here at America’s first university. Fueled by the spirit of our interconnected, complex, and engaged Penn community, the Making History campaign has taken off in a big way."
