9/20/11 General Body Meeting

On a cool September evening, BWUA opened its doors for the first general body meeting of the year. New members were introduced to the board and the various opportunities available to them through the organization. As an icebreaker, all guests were broken up into four teams that competed in a trivia game that tested their knowledge in business, the University of Pennsylvania and African American history. All first comers left with a more defined sense of the organizations mission while meeting new friends. 

Join us for our next GBM on October 4th at 7:30PM.

Freshman Luncheon 9/10/11

Today, BWUA began the school year with its 6^th annual Freshman Luncheon. The luncheon is an annual event held in the beginning of the year for all African American freshmen to come learn more about BWUA and to listen to addresses from special guests Scott Mills, COO of BET Networks and Georgette Chapman Phillips, Vice Dean of Wharton. Mrs. Chapman Phillips welcomed the new students to the University and reiterated that she was one of many resources readily available to them. Scott Mills followed with an address urging students to ‘get out of the conventional line’ in order to achieve extraordinary success. Mills recounted his own Penn story to the freshmen and truly motivated the students to take advantage of the resources available in order to truly succeed at Penn.

Please join us for our first general body meeting of the year, which will be hosted on September 20^th, 2011 at 8:00pm in JMHH 260
