Student Board
The PPE Undergraduate Advisory Board is a committee of student representatives that serves to enhance the PPE major. It is a forum through which PPE students can share their concerns and hopes regarding the major with fellow PPE majors as well as faculty. Board members serve as chief liaisons between PPE majors and PPE faculty, frequently offering and receiving recommendations in both directions. They often help in the implementation of PPE programs, and in doing so, develop strong relationships with our faculty and staff.
The PPE UAB also administers a LinkedIN group for PPE alumni, to help the alumni stay in touch with PPE events and with each other. Linkedin is an online professional networking group. This group was started by William Jesunas, Alumni Relations Coordinator of the UAB of 2007-8. The group is accessible through this link: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/23405/574BBF066022
The 2007-8 board members and their responsibilities are listed below, and all email addresses provided should be appended with the suffix sas.upenn.edu for contact purposes.
