Penn students involved in community work are welcomed to join student leaders in a reflective dialogue surrounding university community engagement. Students will discuss the role of community engagement in the university with West Philadelphia/Philadelphia, and reflect and share about their own experiences working in the community.

Goals of this Dialogue:

Participants will be able to…

  • reflect on the purposes behind the university and how it is tied to the West Philadelphia/Philadelphia area.
  • connect with other students involved in the community, talk about their different work, and reflect on different community engagement methods being used across campus.
  • reflect on their own work and how it relates to Penn as a whole.
  • reflect on their role in the Penn and West Philadelphia community and their relationship with identifying themselves as related to those two communities.
  • discuss future steps in increasing collective agency among engaged students to strengthen Penn-West Philadelphia/Philadelphia relationships.

FREE FOOD will be provided for participants.

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish Michael Smerconish is one of the nation’s most visible media personalities, with a daily radio show on Sirius/XM and a Saturday CNN show. He also provides analysis on CNN for big events, writes columns and books, and more. Maybe most uniquely: Michael is one of the few voices in the media who can’t be pigeonholed ideologically. He’ll be fielding questions on what it’s like to be somewhere in the center in our increasingly ideological media, how the media shapes our politics, what we can do to build a media that better serves the public, and whether prominent figures should be blacklisted from the media if they can’t tell the truth. We’ll also cover the state of politics and whether our two party system is capable of representing Americans like him in 2023. Michael will also field questions from the audience.Learn More
