Kris Rabberman, assistant vice dean and director of academic affairs for Professional and Liberal Education, was recently featured in a WHYY story about a Delaware County woman named Margaret Mattson, who, in 1683, stood trial as an accused witch.

Penn Summer offers a variety of academic experiences for high school students, including Summer Academies—subject-intensive, three-week programs that fuse sophisticated scientific or social theory with relevant applications. Most of the academies are STEM-based, but the Social Justice Research Academy (SJRA) draws upon the rich history of Philadelphia to provide a sociologically comprehensive experience.
Academically talented high school students get an Ivy League, pre-collegiate experience, engage with leading faculty, and build intellectual connections in a variety of accelerated summer programs.
For more than 15 years, Penn’s Master of Science in Applied Geosciences (MSAG) program has been preparing students to advance in the geosciences.
