Penn was honored as one of four finalists in the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge in Washington, D.C., last month.
Penn was the only non-religious institution to be selected as a finalist by the White House.
The challenge is part of a White House initiative to engage college students in interfaith and community service projects. This year, the challenge was turned into a competition and over 400 higher education institutions applied to showcase their campus’ interfaith initiatives.
