Penn ProWomen provides opportunities for women faculty and administrators to meet for intellectual exchange, to advocate policies and processes that support the advancement of women, to give recognition to the distinguished accomplishments of women and to provide opportunities for women students to meet accomplished women on the campus.

Since our founding in 1948, we have worked to improve the status of women on campus and to provide assistance to women who have suffered gender discrimination.

Penn ProWomen invites you to please become a member by clicking the Membership link on the left.
