Dear members of the Penn community,
President Jameson has communicated that, as planned, he will conclude his service as Penn’s tenth president in June 2027. The Board respects his decision. This fall, we will begin the comprehensive process laid out in Penn’s Statutes to identify the University’s next president, who will take office on July 1, 2027.
Dr. Jameson stepped in at a pivotal moment, and what he has accomplished in two and a half years has been simply extraordinary. His work is far from finished. The next twelve months include further accelerating Penn Forward and its nine initiatives designed to build greater trust with those we serve, accelerate bold discoveries, and extend Penn’s geographic reach and impact. I know the Board and the Penn community are fully committed to supporting him in advancing these critical initiatives.
We will share additional information about the search process in the months ahead. In the meantime, please join me in thanking Dr. Jameson and in supporting him through this important year.
Ramanan Raghavendran
Chair, Board of Trustees
