The Penn Wharton Public Policy Initiative and the Annenberg School for Communication are pleased to announce their collaboration on a new undertaking: a Public Policy Visiting Fellows program.

Mark A. Patterson, former chief of staff to U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, will be the first Public Policy Visiting Fellow under this program; he will visit Penn on March 31 and April 1.

His visit will include a public lecture on March 31 at 4:30 p.m. in Jon M. Huntsman Hall, Room 350, titled “Choosing Civic Engagement: Costs, Benefits, and Strategies for Contributing to the Public Good.” (RSVP here.)

Patterson also will be available for informal one-on-one meetings with Annenberg undergraduate students who are interested in learning about careers in public service. Meetings are available for communication undergraduate students in 15-minute time slots from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, April 1., in Steinberg Hall-Dietrich Hall, Room 3010, and can be scheduled via this link.
