Match the Moment Challenge:

Thanks to the outpouring of support from our alumni, parents, and friends, we have fulfilled the Match the Moment Challenge! We are incredibly grateful for our community's belief in the value of a liberal arts education. If you'd still like to make an impact on our students and faculty, there is time to support Penn Arts & Sciences' mission before the end of our fiscal year on June 30. Please learn more at our Annual Giving page. We are so grateful for your generosity!
