The skills I have gained over the period of this internship transcends just the hard skills and embraces a lot of soft skills. I am glad to have been part of such an amazing team - Lordina Oduro '26

"I remember visiting Ģ����Ƶ and I felt that throughout my visit all the priorities on my list were checked off."

"Our aim is to understand you not just as an academic performer, but as a whole human, one shaped by the multiple, rich contexts in which you exist."

"Be open-minded throughout the interaction — don’t rule out a school before gaining enough information, you might surprise yourself!"

"A fly-in program allows you to experience the college environment in a way that a regular campus visit might not allow you."

This course will explore the deep history of dining in Philadelphia, from Lenape foodways to the skills of Hercules Posey – George Washington’s enslaved chef – to the recent participation of Philadelphia cooks and restaurateurs in social justice movements.

This class aims to trace the history of higher education and its ongoing impact on the geography, economy, and culture of greater Philadelphia and U.S. urban space broadly.

This course will cover, as the title suggests, the role of people and political organizations in Philadelphia in the 2024 Election as it is happening. We will work together to understand how people understand politics, and how political campaigns, PACs, and non-profit organizations work to persuade and mobilize potential voters.

The aim of the course would be to examine the political and economic constraints generated by poverty and racial and class segregation in contemporary urban environments and how grassroots economic initiatives rooted in mutual aid often fill the gaps and provide alternative ways to meet needs and generate supportive community.

This course aims to look at the importance of access to finance to small businesses and low and moderate income households, identifies how and why this access is lacking and examines efforts to address this issues.

What is public art? What is public space? What is the role of public art in a democracy? Does the fact that something is historically significant give us a reason to preserve it? Which historically significant things should we preserve and why? What is the moral value of commemorative art?  How should we assess controversies surrounding the removal of art honoring persons or groups we now judge to be morally objectionable? How best should we memorialize victims of injustice?
