Questions Regarding Alumni
How can I get in touch with a Penn Medicine alumnus?
If you hold a Penn degree, you may join the Penn Alumni Online Community (OLC) for free. You can visit the site at www.alumniconnections.com/olc/pub/UPN/. The OLC provides two services: a directory that contains the most up-to-date information the University has about its alumni, and alumni e-mail forwarding. If you do not hold a Penn degree or do not wish to join the OLC, you may contact the Penn Medicine Office of Alumni Development and Alumni Relations at 215-898-5298 for information.
