Upcoming Events

Data collection is ubiquitous…and not always benign. It can feel creepy to get online prompts about what to eat, watch, do, or buy. And biases in computer code can skew data-driven decisions in ways that negatively impact individuals without their knowledge. But there’s good news, too. Penn researchers are harnessing huge data sets to improve health care, manage business challenges, identify crime patterns, mitigate the risks of social media, and more. In this session, they will share many ways Penn is leading in a quickly evolving field and what these changes mean for all of us.

The Graduate Division Ceremony will occur on Friday, May 12, 2023 at 2 p.m. in the Zellerbach Theater, 3680 Walnut Street. Additional details will be posted shortly.

For more information, please visit the Graduate Division graduation page. 

Students graduating from LPS programs are invited to two celebratory events: the LPS Graduation Ceremony and University Commencement. At the LPS Graduation Ceremony, your degree program will be called to the stage and your name will be announced.

A reception will take place immediately after the ceremony on Annenberg Plaza. 

The Fels Institute of Government Graduation Ceremony will occur on Sunday, May 14, 2023 at  6:30 p.m. at the National Constitution Center, located at 525 Arch Street.
