In the spirit of Ben Franklin, who in 1727 formed a club for those sharing his enthusiasm for learning and conversation, Penn Alumni Lifelong Learning invites you to join the Penn Alumni Reading Club. Since 2017, twice a semester, a different Penn faculty member or alum affiliated with the Center for Africana Studies will select a book or article they have written and/or teach and lead a discussion of the work. The online program will offer alumni across the globe the opportunity to pose questions, think critically, and engage intellectually with world-renowned faculty members and fellow Quakers.
