    Program Manager of Penn Student Agencies @ the University of Pennsylvania

    Last Friday, I had the privilege of cohosting a small PSA Alumni Engagement reception at Williams Cafe, one of PSA’s student-run businesses, during Penn's Homecoming Weekend, to kick off celebrating 90 years of Penn Student Agencies! It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and get to know some new ones. Having been back at Penn for over a year and a few months, mentoring and advising the young entrepreneurs and business leaders of PSA, I'm truly impressed by the remarkable progress we've achieved and the resilience and growth displayed by these outstanding students. Here's to 90 years of excellence and many more to come! Shoutout to our amazing Graduate Assistant, Bea Carag, on leading the effort to organize this event! #PennAlumni #Mentorship #Entrepreneurship #PSA90Years
