Summer Barbecue for Grad Students
July…fireworks and parades highlight the celebration
of summer in Philadelphia. On the Penn campus, the
month is also marked by the annual summer barbeque
for SEAS graduate students. One day each summer,
the Engineering Alumni Society fires up a huge charcoal
grill and cooks up burgers, hot dogs, and veggie
burgers for the graduate engineering students.
This event encourages grad students who are stuck
on campus for the summer to get out of their labs
to enjoy at least one day of bright Philadelphia
summer sunshine. Students who rarely see each other
get a chance to chat over a typical American barbecue
lunch. An Alumni Society event for over ten years,
the barbecue has now become a tradition.
This year’s barbecue was held on Thursday,
July 17 outside of Levine Hall.
