Children: Photographs by Jerry Porter, at the Burrison Gallery Now-April 12
Children: Photographs by Jerry Porter, at the Burrison Gallery, in the University Club at Penn, now through April 12. Travel and photography have been Dr. Porter’s principal avocation. He has traveled throughout the world to every continent except Antarctica. He has seen many interesting things, but by far the most interesting things are not “things” but people. The memories he most treasures are the children of the world because they are the future of the world. He has chosen photographs of children from 20 different countries for this exhibit. Dr. Porter has been a member of the Penn community for over 50 years. He is a retired professor of mathematics and a former associate dean of SAS and chair of the Faculty Senate. In retirement, he has been president of the Penn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty (PASEF) and has served on the Burrison Gallery Advisory Committee since 2009.
A reception will be held in the Gallery on Wednesday, March 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. The Burrison Gallery is located in the University Club at Penn on the second floor of The Inn at Penn, 3611 Walnut Street, and is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
