Parents of Penn Students is a closed Facebook group for parents of Penn students, both current and alumni, with the purpose of offering support for parents in a safe and respectful forum. This is a place where parents can come with questions and concerns about anything relating to Penn and their student(s). Posts shared here may not be shared elsewhere without permission from the poster. The goal is to maintain a safe and private space to share questions and concerns.

Any Penn Parents who would like to join and have a Facebook account can message me your email address (the one associated with your Facebook acct) and I will add you as a member.

You can also PM me, and I can add you, too. :slight_smile: We are hoping to grow the group so come on aboard all your parents of UPenn students. (And @Much2learn, we can probably bump this come April and May when kids make their decisions)

Wishing everyone the best regardless of whether or not your student gets into Penn.
