On Thursday, Feb. 6, the Penn community gathered to celebrate the re-opening of the ARCH, Penn’s Arts, Research, and Culture House.

The University of Pennsylvania has completed a $24.5 million renovation of its Arts, Research and Culture House, transforming the historic building into a center for campus life that builds on the cultural diversity of Penn students and offers an intellectual and social experience for the entire University community. 

When it comes to waste minimization, less is more.

As the world’s largest democracy and second most populous country, India is a burgeoning economic power. Yet the country’s historic macroeconomic instability, contentious political climate, and overtaxed infrastructure all point to the urgent need for innovation.

The Green Campus Partnership at the University of Pennsylvania is looking to score a zero in support of the Red and Blue at this year’s QuakerFest. The group’s aim is to make the traditional alumni tailgate held before the Homecoming football game a “zero-waste” event to score big gains for environmental sustainability.

At a black-tie gala on Friday, Nov. 8, the University of Pennsylvania will honor distinguished alumni and alumni groups who, through their accomplishments or continued involvement, have brought honor and prestige to Penn.

Proposals for fall 2013 Green Fund grants through the University of Pennsylvania’s Green Campus Partnership are due by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, Green Fund grants support innovative green projects and ideas from students, faculty and staff.

WHAT: The Penn Institute for Urban Research and Penn’s executive vice president will host a conversation about University of Pennsylvania-led economic and community development.

This fall, Penn has expanded its menu of campus dining options, adding new facilities to its retail footprint, both off campus and on. HipCityVeg recently opened at 214 S. 40th St., and HubBub Coffee, at 3736 Spruce St., is scheduled to open on Monday, Oct. 21, at 7 a.m.
