Penn Alumni

Penn Alumni Penn Alumni is the formal name for our family of over 290,000 living Penn graduates.

Of these, the split of undergraduate degree (52.5%) and graduate degree holders (47.5%) is fairly even. Most alumni reside in the U.S., but Penn does have over 23,000 alumni living abroad. Not surprisingly, the largest geographic concentration of our alumni is in the greater Philadelphia area with over 67,000. The metro NY area has over 46,000 alumni in residence, and Baltimore/ Washington has about 13,000 supporters of the Red and Blue. Boston and San Francisco hold the number four and five spots for most alumni with 10,100 and 9,500, respectively.

The lessons that stay with us are often bigger than the classroom.

Because of Penn… Vineesha Badabhagni, SPP'19 found the confidence to explore, the discipline to persevere, and the perspective to turn challenges into opportunities.

Her advice: Keep an open mind, ask for help when you need it, and say yes to experiences that push you to grow.
