Jump start your brain for fall with this virtual screening of the 60-Second Lectures! 

A Penn Arts & Sciences' favorite, the 60-Second Lectures challenge our faculty experts to distill their knowledge into just one minute. Six professors will speak for first-year College students at the New Student Orientation Expo on August 26.
