Social Media
SP2 is on the following social media platforms. Some faculty, research centers, and initiatives also maintain accounts outside of the official SP2 accounts.
Penn encourages its followers, fans, and visitors to its social media accounts to interact with the University and one another freely but is not responsible for comments or posts made by visitors to or fans of Penn accounts. Comments posted by visitors and fans may not reflect official views or policies of the University.

All comments are subject to social networks’ terms of use and codes of conduct. Account administrators reserve the right to review all comments and posted materials and remove such materials for any reason.
While strong and reasoned discussion is permissible, Penn reserves the right to remove and/or report comments (to those platforms and to Penn administration as appropriate) that engage in false information, personal attacks (including other community members or Penn students/faculty/staff), vulgarity, or threats.
