Penn Author Forum

We’re excited to invite you to a special Penn Author Forum with Professor Dustin Brisson, Director of Penn’s Biology Master’s Program and faculty member in the Department of Biology. Penn Author Forum is a KCECH tradition that stretches back decades and an incredible opportunity to engage with Penn faculty. Professor Brisson recently published In Pursuit of the Good Life, a thoughtful and practical guide to building success and well-being in college and beyond. As a former first-generation, low-income student himself, he brings a deeply personal perspective to what it means to find purpose and balance at Penn. Date: November 6th 5:30 to 6:30 Location: 1938 Lounge Please RVSP Come for an inspiring conversation about what it really means to live “the good life” and how we can each define it for ourselves.
