Penn Back Then is a continuing oral history project begun in May 2005 by the School of Arts and Sciences. At campus celebrations each year, alumni from all decades can contribute their notable anecdotes and remembrances to this audio scrapbook
Though the college experience varies from one generation to the next, every Penn graduate is linked by the history and traditions of a common campus. Penn Back Then is a chance to learn about university life across several decades, as told by the people who know it best.
