BULLETINS

 Meeting and Event Space

Campus meeting and events space availability has been an ongoing topic of conversation this summer as the current Faculty Club readies to transition out of Skinner Hall, and the Inn at Penn prepares for opening.

Understandably, there are concerns about how to satisfy existing event and meeting needs that had been previously met by space at Skinner as well as other venues (such as Perelman Quad) that are presently out of service.

Campus Services is hosting information meetings for Penn events planners to address these challenges. Staff from Conference and Guest Services at Penn, the "new" Faculty Club, the Inn at Penn, and the Sheraton University City will be available to discuss your interests and questions.

These meetings will offer an opportunity to:

  • get help finding the "right" space for your event
  • hear about how Conference and Guest Services can help you secure events space and services.
  • meet staff from both the Inn at Penn and the Sheraton
  • hear about the Faculty Club in its new iteration in the Inn at Penn

Thursday, July 22 9:30 AM - 11 AM Palmaire V
Tuesday, July 27 3 PM - 4:30 PM University Suite
Wednesday, August 11 10:30 AM - Noon Center Suite

All meetings will take place at the Sheraton University City.

The following Campus Services staff will participate:

  • Jeff Barta, Director, Conference and Guest Services, Penn
  • Sondra Siegel, Associate Director, Conference and Guest Services, Penn
  • Natalka Swavely, Coordinator, Faculty Club, Penn
  • Scott Umlauf, Director, Sales and Marketing, Sheraton University City Hotel
