Preceptorials

New Student Orientation & Academic Initiatives, Preceptorials

Preceptorials are not-for-credit educational sessions designed to showcase the University’s intellectual richness, further develop a sense of belonging to our shared community, and help students define their Penn experience.

The primary areas of focus are academic life, building the Penn community, civic engagement, cultural awareness, social connections, and wellness.

  • For faculty and teaching staff, Preceptorials can be an opportunity to share passions related to their teaching and research interests.
  • For undergraduate students, Preceptorials can be a way to learn about specific areas of interest and an opportunity to connect with peers.

We accept Preceptorial submissions on a rolling basis. Please email Andrea Naughton at andrea29@upenn.edu for questions about the program.
