The SP2 Speaker Series offers conversations about social issues with experts on social policy and social work. Each virtual 60-minute session includes a discussion and Q&A portion moderated by Ben Jealous, with an introduction from SP2 Dean Sara S. Bachman and a closing from SP2 Associate Dean for Community Cultivation and Engagement Jerri Bourjolly.
The Weitzman Speaker Series in High Impact Philanthropy was implemented by SP2 in collaboration with the Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) and endowed by Stuart Weitzman, a 1963 graduate of the Wharton School. The series aims to highlight the ways in which different philosophies and passions are expressed through the practice of high impact philanthropy.
On an annual basis, Kat Rosqueta, founding executive director of CHIP, speaks with leaders who are making a philanthropic impact on important social issues through candid, fireside chat-style events. Events are open to all Penn students.
Master of Science in Nonprofit Leadership (NPL) Faculty-Led Lunch & Learn events bring together students, faculty, and community partners to collaborate and learn. During each event, students are encouraged to think about new ideas and concepts they learned, what they may do differently based on their learning, how their learning will help impact the communities they serve, and how the learning changed their thinking.
Events are held virtually several times per semester.
