Join PennClubOC at this exciting Penn Arts & Sciences event in Orange County!

Since celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2022, the Program in Asian American Studies (ASAM) has doubled its faculty, multiplied its course offerings, and inaugurated the first named postdoctoral fellowship in Asian American studies in the Ivy League.

Please join Penn Arts & Sciences for an engaging event with ASAM co-directors Professor David L. Eng and Dr. Fariha Khan. Enjoy refreshments, a program update on why Asian American studies is more urgent than ever, and conversation with fellow alumni as well as ASAM leadership.

George Cheng WG04 is graciously hosting the event at his beautiful office - NOTE: you do not need to be Asian American to attend, all are welcome! We would like to stress that this event is a social event with plenty of time to connect with other UPenn and Wharton alumni.
