Dean & Board of Advisors

In today’s complex world, the need for passionate social change leaders is more urgent than ever. At SP2, we are constantly evolving to meet this need. We offer rigorous Master’s and Doctoral programs as well as dual degrees, certificates, and many opportunities to collaborate with Penn’s other professional schools. Our students bring their classroom experience to life through a wide range of internships and practicums.

Our faculty are the very heart and soul of our program. As renowned practitioners, instructors, and world-class scholars, they are driven to share their knowledge and experience, doing whatever it takes to help our students achieve academic and career success.

They are also leading innovative translational research that examines everything from economic security and social innovation to health and well-being, philanthropy, and data-driven policy and practice. This important research is just another way we’re working to improve social policy and practice locally and globally.

I am so proud to be a member of the SP2 community. Each of us – students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and others – is truly committed to advancing the pursuit of social innovation, policy, and practice, and making the world a better place for all people.
