Students on steps

Whether you have participated in past alumni panels or are thinking about getting involved, we need your help in recruiting the next generation of design leaders! 

These virtual panel discussions offer invaluable insight to admitted students as they embark on the next step of their professional journey. 

As an alumni panelist, you will be given the space to share with admitted students your experience on campus, your career path after Penn, and any other helpful advice. Students, in return, will ask the panelists questions. 

To allow for a robust conversation, we are looking for 5-6 alums, one from each discipline, to participate in the dialogue. As a thank you, a branded Weitzman gift will be mailed to you following the panel discussion. 

To participate, register by Monday, March 2, 2026 by emailing Ashley Colabella at coash@upenn.edu.

Questions? Please contact the Weitzman Alumni Office at weitzman-alumni@design.upenn.edu or call 215.746.316 

 

Continue to mentor admitted students!  

Every year, alumni reach out to newly admitted applicants to share their congratulations and answer questions. Candidates really enjoy hearing from you and learning about your student experiences and what you’re doing now. 

If you are interested in contacting admits this year, please fill out this short form to indicate your interest by Friday, February 27. The Office of Admissions will follow up the week of March 10 with a list of 10-15 admits for you to contact.
