Dear Penn Freshman

Event Description

Join us at the Writers House for a public reading of some favorite “Dear Penn Freshmen” letters. You’ll be able to pick up copies of their latest zine and meet members of the Signal Society, a community of developers, designers, writers, and everything in between, who aim to highlight some of the challenges that come with the Penn experience. 

“Dear Penn Freshmen” is a collection of letters written by Penn upperclassmen addressing their freshman-year selves about things they wish they had known in their first year. This project is the brainchild of Adam Grant’s 2016 Organizational Behavior class and is back in 2024 with a wave of fresh letters written by recently graduated Penn seniors. These notes to first year students are filled with advice, anecdotes, and random thoughts in hopes that their experiences will make the first year at Penn just a tad bit easier for some readers and listeners.
