The event – SP2 Penn Top 10 Talk: A Speaker Series on Social Impact – will take place at the University Club at Penn. It will be moderated by Dean Jackson and will also feature a Q&A session.

In partnership with the University Club, this event will be the official kick-off to a compelling speaker series on social policy and social justice issues that affect individuals and communities locally and globally.

Panelists include:

• Special guest panelist Cynthia Figueroa, Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Human Services
• Debra Schilling Wolfe, MEd, Founding Executive Director of the Field Center
• Ezekiel Dixon-Román, PhD, Associate Professor at the School of Social Policy & Practice

In November, SP2 hosted a similar event in conjunction with the launch of Social Policy and Social Justice – an academic volume edited by Dean Jackson and published by Penn Press.

Social Policy and Social Justice is the final component of the SP2 Penn Top 10 project – www.PennTopTen.com – a multimodal initiative launched in 2016 designed to educate, enlighten, and empower voters and policymakers from all walks of life leading up to the 2016 presidential election and beyond.

*Lunch is optional and will be available for University Club members from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.*
