First Post!

Hey Guys! This is my first post! I'm really excited to tell you guys about an event coming up on April 29th: the ABCS Summit!

Some of you may not know this but Penn offers a variety of Academically Based Community Service Courses. These courses grant students like us an opportunity to get involved with the community as well as earn credit and valuable research experience. I've never taken any of these courses, and I'm sure many of you haven't either. Therefore, the Summit will be a great place to learn more about the program and hopefully we can all find classes that spark our interests!

I hear there are a number of amazing guests coming to the Summit as well! I hope I get an opportunity to talk to them. Even better, however, FREE FOOD! The people at the Netter Center truly know how to reach a college student's heart.

Anyway, I'm really excited for the event and I'm hope to see you there. Below I've posted the agenda for this year's Summit......
