The Power of Penn Campaign has fueled a new period of extraordinary growth at Penn Engineering. Through increased student and faculty support, we are attracting the diverse talent required to tackle the most pressing challenges of the day. In next-generation workspaces, scholars integrate knowledge to create revolutionary medical technologies, develop efficient and renewable energy solutions, and harness data in ways we never before thought possible. Energized by the success of this Campaign, our students, faculty, and alumni are poised to invent the future.

Highlighted Accomplishments

Transformed the future of data science with the planned construction of a leading-edge education and research facility. Thanks to a historic lead gift from Harlan M. Stone, C’80, PAR’13, the Data Science Building will unite researchers and students throughout the University, the local community, and beyond.

Increased access for aided engineering students through the A. James Clark Scholars Program, which combines innovative coursework, service learning, and internships to create a unique educational experience for talented students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, including first-generation college students.

Surpassed the goal of 20 new endowed faculty positions, enabling Penn Engineering to attract and retain preeminent scholars who enrich the classroom experience and foster innovative explorations and partnerships.

Celebrated extraordinary engagement as hundreds of alumni, students, parents, and friends unlocked three consecutive February Challenge gifts for Engineering Annual Giving and contributed to the overwhelming success of the School’s Campaign.
