Belonging at Penn

A commitment to equal opportunity has long been anchored in Penn’s guiding principles and enduring values. Among these are freedom of inquiry and thought; embracing the varied perspectives of our global community; and supporting a culture of scholarly innovation. Penn has initiated a comprehensive review of our programs to ensure consistency with new federal government guidance and Executive Orders; federal, state, and local law; and our University values. 

Penn’s culture of education, innovation, and discovery is made possible by uniting people across meaningful differences. We remain dedicated to providing a respectful, enriching University environment that celebrates faculty, staff, and students of distinctive backgrounds and experiences.
