About SP2
Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2)! For more than 110 years, SP2 has been a powerful force in the world, working towards social good and social change through research and practice. SP2 contributes to the advancement of more effective, efficient, and humane human services through education, research, and civic engagement. The passionate pursuit of social innovation, social impact, and social good is at the heart of the School’s knowledge-building activities.
SP2 Communications
SP2 regularly shares information regarding research, students, alumni, initiatives, programs, and more through a variety of channels.
University Communications
Penn Today is the University’s news outlet, which sometimes features stories about SP2.
The Penn Almanac is the official weekly journal of record, opinion, and news for the University community. News, calendar listings, honors, obituaries, and more can be submitted directly to the Almanac. University branding guidelines are available here.
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. Users who make comments on social media pages should be respectful of fellow visitors and maintain civil and rational discussions. 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. The University does not permit social media messages that sell products or promote commercial or political ventures.
