The 2014 program year got off to a great start on January 14th as this year’s cohort of Fellows gathered for an orientation reception at Penn. Director Alan Lee introduced the program, and Brett Shiel, Deputy for Teacher Effectiveness at the School District of Philadelphia, addressed the attendees, which included Fellows, Seminar Leaders, TIP alumni, and supporters from the Penn community. Penn Professor Rogers Smith and two TIP Fellows, Stuart Surrey and Terry Anne Wildman, shared insight and remarks about the program, as well. The evening ended with Seminar Leaders meeting with their respective groups in the first seminar session of the program year.
Fellows will take part in an orientation to the Penn Libraries on January 21st, and regular seminar sessions will begin the following week. We’d like to thank everyone who was in attendance for making the orientation reception a success!
