Since 2015, the School’s trajectory has been guided by a document called Foundations and Frontiers: A Strategic Plan for Penn Arts & Sciences. This plan is the result of a highly consultative process, involving extensive discussion among SAS faculty, students, staff, alumni, and volunteers, as well as with colleagues from other Penn schools and the University administration. It emphasizes strengthening our faculty and education programs—the foundations for excellence in all that we do—and lays out a series of eight interdisciplinary themes that represent the School’s most promising frontiers, where we have unique opportunities to make strategic investments and maximize the impact of our resources.
