Penn President Amy Gutmann was on hand at the annual Student and Faculty Leadership Awards of the James Brister Society (JBS) on Friday, April 6. This diverse group of Penn alumni volunteer leaders celebrated its 25th anniversary, welcoming back many of its founders, influential alumni, and trustees, as well as current students, faculty, and administrators for a look at the impact JBS has had on diversity at the University in the last 25 years.
Alumni leaders, by power of their example, support and Penn’s efforts to attract, encourage, and maintain a culturally diverse community of faculty, students, administrators, staff, and volunteers, enriching the University community as a whole.
