Penn President Amy Gutmann's annual Welcome Back Picnic will be held at Wynn Commons on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for the sophomore and junior classes. In both 2014 and 2013, the event was held at Gutmann's Walnut Street home.
An email from the Office of the President explained that the reason for the change is the ongoing construction of the Perry World House, scheduled to open in the spring of 2016.
The new building will "co-locate internationally-oriented research, outreach, and student activities; convene faculty and experts from Penn and beyond to address complex, interdisciplinary questions; and catalyze Penn's global engagement," according to the program's website.
