January 18, 2010 Dear Members of our University Community: Despite the largely disenchanting events of the past ten years—recently dubbed by Time Magazine as “the Decade from Hell”—we at Penn have avoided 21st-century ennui by cultivating creativity, collaboration, and innovation. In the new millennium, we forged ahead in teaching, research, and service. We also opened 14 new buildings, completed the historic acquisition of the former postal lands, and launched our ambitious campus development plan, Penn Connects.
