Alumni Events

Your classmates and fellow alumni look forward to seeing you at a SEAS event in your area or back on campus. Catch up, network or party with other Penn Engineering alums. Here's what we're up to...

Homecoming

Homecoming this year was held on November 7, 2009. Check out the events photos archive for pictures from this year and years past.

Alumni Weekend

Held by Penn Alumni Relations, Alumni Weekend is a chance to return to campus for a long weekend. Walk around Penn, see what's new, attend school events or lectures and re-connect with friends, mentors and memories. We hope to see you there. Check out the events photo archive for pictures from years past.

Senior Design Competition

Each year, the Penn Engineering Alumni Society sponsors a Senior Design Project Competition for undergraduate engineering seniors at Penn Engineering. This competition assembles together the winning senior design project teams from each of Penn’s engineering majors. Each of these design teams presents their accomplishments to a panel of “real world” judges who collectively represent a diverse set of technology disciplines.

Summer Barbecue for Grad 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. Check out the events photo archive for pictures from past years.

D. Robert Yarnall Award Presentation

The D. Robert Yarnall Award is presented each year at the Senior Awards Dinner to a distinguished alumnus for an outstanding contribution in the field of engineering to society, either in public service, private industry, or education, that has enhanced the image of the University of Pennsylvania.
