Note: The Wendy and Leonard Goldberg Media & Communications Program is paused for academic year 2025-26 as Fisher Hassenfeld completes its renovations.
The Wendy and Leonard Goldberg Media & Communications Program, nestled in the westernmost end of Fisher Hassenfeld College House in the Quad, is open to students in any major or academic field and provides ample space to live and work. The program is centered in Foerderer, McKean, Baldwin, Class of 1887, and Craig – known collectively as Goldberg House, with the nearby Goldberg Media Lounge serving as the principal public space. Named for film producer Leonard Goldberg and his wife, Wendy Goldberg, the program draws members who share an interest in media with a particular emphasis on film, all forms of communications media, including broadcasting, publishing, journalism, digital media, marketing and public relations, and political communication.
The Goldberg Media & Communications program will be open to all residents of Fisher Hassenfeld College House and has focused on film; future activities may explore other areas of media. Residents in this program have collaborated to determine movie screenings and design discussions prompted by the film screening. In addition, the program can sponsor trips to movie theaters promoting current films. For residents interested in broadcast media, public relations, and journalism the program can also support meetings and facilitate conversations with local Penn-based and Philadelphia region professionals in these industries.
Goldberg Media & Communications Program will be open to all residents of Fisher Hassenfeld College House and does not require assignment to specific rooms.
Goals: This program aims to provide first-year students with a community interested to develop further their media communication and leadership skills by engaging with film, journalism, media, and public relations as a common ground to explore and create a positive social impact in the House and beyond.
