Penn's Way 1996

For me, Penn's Way means giving--giving of myself through my ongoing involvement as a member of the Penn's Way Campaign Committee and giving to those in need through the contributions I choose to make.

Since the University took a major leadership stance in 1991 when we were one of the first local employers to institute a combined charitable campaign, other local institutions have followed in our footsteps. Faculty and staff have given over $1,000,000 to support the critical work done by human service organizations in the Delaware Valley, but we cannot rest on our laurels. There's much more work to be done.

If you haven't yet returned your pledge card, I hope you will do so today. Join me in making Penn's Way your way.

Division of Human Resources and
Member of the Penn's Way Campaign Committee


December 15 is the target date for totalling up the proceeds--and more important, the participation-- in Penn's Way 1996. As of Friday, the workplace campaign had recorded 1635 participants whose gifts come to more than $198,000 so far.

Co-chairs of Penn's Way 1996 are Carol Scheman, vice president for government, community and public affairs, and Dr. Ira Schwartz, dean of the School of Social Work.

Anyone who has not received the '96 guidebook explaining options in giving, or who has questions about the program or its payroll-deduction features, should call 898-1733.
