Class of 1917 Award
Recognizing an outstanding class.
The Class of 1989 had an extraordinary 35th Reunion! The Giving Committee—led by Michael Barrett ENG ’89, David France C’89, Lawrence Kaplan C’89 WG’95, Jill Topkis Weiss C’89, and nearly 30 additional volunteers—served as a consummate example for volunteers’ long-standing commitment to supporting undergraduate student life and learning. Together, the Class of 1989 raised over $8 million for the University in honor of their 35th Reunion and maintained their specific dedication to the Class of 1989 Endowed Scholarship and Penn First Plus. Notably, this committee used monthly meetings to learn from one another and offer space for critical discussion during a uniquely challenging year. Thank you, Class of 1989, for your collective respect for each other, your classmates, and the mission of reunion fundraising!
Make it a Red and Blue dream come true.
Penn undergraduate alumni and parents have the opportunity to make a real difference for those who follow in their footsteps or their own students who attend the University today. Participation at any level will create a direct and immediate impact on campus.
