Friday Night Writes
Friday Night Writes is a tutoring initiative to support K-12 writers in Philadelphia schools! Hosted on Friday afternoons from 4pm-6pm by Faculty Director Amy Stornaiuolo, students from neighboring schools (primarily middle and high school) drop in and bring what they are writing (college admissions essays, creative works, school assignments, scholarship materials) to get feedback. Gutmann residents are encouraged to join as a tutor or get help on their own writing.
Faculty Meals
Gutmann community kitchens are a space to gather for cooking and shared memories. Our faculty hosted meals, such as Taste of West Africa, Pancakes Brunch, and Taste of Italy, is where food is more than just nourishment. It’s a place to engage and learn.
Bingo Night
Every month the Gutmann House Manager team hosts Bingo Night. There is always a creative theme and exciting prizes. Students dress up and have a great time socializing and playing along!
Annual Fall Welcome Scavenger Hunt
Every fall, residents participate in a house wide scavenger hunt. Both challenging and fun, this is a great way to learn about the house and win amazing prizes.
