Penn Back Then is a continuing oral history project begun in May 2005 by Penn Arts & Sciences. At campus celebrations each year, alumni from all decades can contribute their notable anecdotes and remembrances to this audio scrapbook. Though the Arts & Sciences experience varies from one generation to the next, every graduate is linked by the history and traditions of a common campus. Penn Back Then is a chance to learn about University life across several decades, as told by the people who know it best.
