Gregory J. Pellicano: Associate Vice President Audit, Compliance & PrivacyExecutive Vice

President Craig R. Carnaroli and Penn Medicine Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Keith A. Kasper are pleased to announce the appointment of Gregory J. Pellica-no as Associate Vice President Audit, Com-pliance & Privacy, ef-fective October 26.

Mr. Pellicano is currently vice pres-ident and deputy chief compliance officer at Shire Pharmaceuticals, where he oversees a comprehensive compliance program covering operations in 29 countries encompassing on-site monitoring, data analytics and compliance investigations. While at Shire, he implemented a data-visualization software with customized dashboards in order to increase the compliance team’s ability to quickly identify data anomalies in large data sets for targeted follow-up.

Mr. Pellicano joined Shire in 2006 as the vice president and chief audit executive, and

was tasked with building the internal audit func-tion. Over the course of his seven-year tenure in internal audit, he developed a global, risk-based model, established a strong internal presence and “brand” and recommended a cross-func-tional Risk Council to better address Shire’s en-terprise risk management objectives. In addi-tion, he developed and implemented an audit quality-assurance program with best-in-class standards and processes following the Institute of Internal Auditors framework.

Prior to joining Shire, Mr. Pellicano held fi-nancial management positions focused on inter-nal controls and compliance at MBNA, Price-waterhouseCoopers and CoreStates Financial Corporation.

“We are delighted to bring to Penn an expe-rienced leader in audit, compliance and priva-cy,” said Mr. Carnaroli. “Greg Pellicano is a re-spected risk management professional with di-verse experience in providing strategic and tac-tical risk management guidance to executive leadership and Boards. Greg has demonstrated a pragmatic approach to risk management, having the right balance of commitment to internal con-trols and flexibility when it comes to implemen-tation. In addition, his global experience will be

Penn Dental Medicine has just received the largest gift from a living alumnus, a $10 mil-lion gift—from Robert I. Schattner, of Bethes-da, Maryland, a member of the class of 1948. This gift will fund the renovation of the School’s Main Clinic and expansion of its icon-ic Schattner Center to create a dramatic new meeting and reception space. The gift comes as the School celebrates the centennial anniversa-ry of its Evans Building (Almanac March 31, 2015) and represents the final phase in a ten-year ‘renaissance’ plan.

This is the second major gift from Dr. Schattner. In 1997, he and his late wife, Kay, contributed $5.5 million for the construction of the School’s Robert Schattner Center and sur-rounding gardens. The Center, dedicated in 2002 (Almanac November 12, 2002), is home to sev-eral clinics and the Penn Dental Medicine Fam-ily Practice at Locust Walk. The Schattner Cen-ter constitutes the main entrance to the Dental School, forming a unified Penn Dental Medi-cine campus by linking to the School’s other two buildings—the Thomas Evans Building and Leon Levy Center for Oral Health Research.

“Dr. Schattner has so very generously stepped up to the plate once again in support of the health-promoting work of Penn Dental Medicine,” said Penn President Amy Gutmann, “and it is all the more heart-warming because he is a proud alumnus. No one better under-stands the vital work of this hallowed School than someone who has been such a valued and respected member of the Penn Dental Medicine family for almost 70 years. His generosity will

be transformative and forever honored and re-membered.”

Located within the School’s historic Thom-as Evans Building, the Main Clinic is the 11,520-square-foot clinical space that has been the hub of DMD clinical instruction and patient care since its construction in 1915.

“The Main Clinic has clinically educated thousands of students, and is the centerpiece of the Evans Building. Students spend some of their most critical professional training hours in this space,” says Denis Kinane, Morton Am-sterdam Dean of Penn Dental Medicine. “Dr. Schattner’s vision of the importance of this fa-cility will have a lasting impact for our students and the School overall.”

Plans for what will be named the Robert I. Schattner Clinic involve a complete updating of the entire space for an improved student and pa-tient experience. The main improvements will include all new equipment and operatories in an individual bay design, new flooring and light-ing, enhanced radiographic capabilities and the restoration of the grand wall of original, histor-ic windows that line the north side of the clinic.

In addition to funding the Main Clinic im-provements, Dr. Schattner’s latest gift will create a new indoor pavilion, built adjacent to the exist-ing atrium of the Schattner Center and enclosing a courtyard area behind it to create a dynamic new indoor space for public gatherings and interaction.

“Few alumni have had as great an impact on Penn Dental Medicine as Dr. Robert Schattner,” says Dean Kinane. “His career exemplifies the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of our earli-est benefactor, Dr. Thomas Evans (Almanac July 14, 2015). And Dr. Schattner’s continual commit-ment and warm personality are an inspiration to me and others at Penn Dental Medicine.”

Dr. Schattner is the inventor of the world re-nowned Chloraseptic, the sore-throat anesthetic/mouthwash, and the hospital disinfectant Spo-ricidin. He holds 70 patents and trademarks in addition to his 10 years in private practice in the New York area. Active within Penn Dental Medicine for many years, he has served on the School’s Board of Overseers since 2002.

“I can attribute my success to a combination of serendipity, luck and perseverance,” says Dr. Schattner.

“With this gift,” says Dean Kinane, “Dr. Schattner will not only expand his legacy, and Kay’s, at Penn Dental Medicine, he will im-prove the educational experience of generations of future students of our School.”

Faculty Senate Executive Committee ActionsWednesday, September 30, 2015

Chair’s Report. After introductions by all those present, Faculty Senate Chair Reed Pyeritz welcomed the members of the Senate Executive Committee (SEC) and offered a brief review of the Senate and its structure. He indicated that the work of the Senate’s committees is beginning, and they will have more to report as the year progresses. He noted that they have received a copy of a letter sent by the Tri-Chairs to United States Senators from Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey discouraging the adoption of a policy by the US Department of Health and Human Services that would lower the salary cap for investigators who receive federal research grants. He also noted that the Penn Alumni Association is seeking nominations for the Faculty Award of Merit. A symposium, open to the University community, will be sponsored by the Senate in spring 2016; suggestions for topics were solicited. The Campaign for Community will sponsor its first event, Academic Freedom Now, which will be held at the Kislak Center on Tuesday, October 27 from 3-6 p.m.

Past-Chair’s Report. Faculty Senate Past Chair Claire Finkelstein reported that the Academic Planning and Budget Committee and the Capital Council have both held their first meetings of the year.

Update from the Office of the Provost. Provost Vincent Price updated the Faculty Senate on a number of items. Professor Stanton Wortham has taken over as the Faculty Director of the Online Learning Initiative, and its offices will relocate to the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library. Penn has 50 open courses now available on the Coursera and edX platforms, which will make the outstanding teaching at Penn broadly available to the world. The Perry World House is targeted for opening in the spring; the facility will be available for use by all faculty and student organizations doing work related to international affairs. The four undergraduate schools have agreed to pilot for one year the Faculty Wellness Ambassador program, which was initially proposed by SEC in the spring; the results will be assessed at the conclusion of the pilot year. Penn was one of 27 institutions to take part in the AAU Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct, the results of which were released last month (Almanac September 29, 2015). Penn will continue to broaden its outreach efforts in combatting the problems highlighted by the survey results. Consideration is being given to online learning modules or other educational programs for faculty and students in this respect. A spirited discussion between the Provost and SEC ensued.

Discussion and Vote of Draft Committee Charges. The specific charges of the Faculty Senate committees were reviewed and approved unanimously, with one amendment.

Trustees Meeting CoverageOn October 1, the Trustees of the Universi-

ty of Pennsylvania held meetings in the Perel-man Center for Advanced Medicine. The Exec-utive Committee approved the minutes of their August 5 meeting that had been called to pass a resolution related to the change of ownership of the School of Nursing’s LIFE (Living Inde-pendently for Elders) Program (Almanac May 8, 2007) and academic affiliation agreement.

Penn President Amy Gutmann reported that the gala celebration and the Silfen Forum last month in Beijing honoring the new Penn Whar-ton China Center (Almanac September 22, 2015) was a wonderful milestone for Penn’s global engagement.

EVP Craig Carnaroli reported that Penn had a very strong investment performance last year leading to total net assets for the Consolidated University of $13.5 billion as of June 30, 2015, an increase of $519 million over the prior June and $620 million over budget. The AIF return of 7.4% was above the budgeted return of 6.5% and below the prior FY return of 17.5%. While capital expenditures were below budget, there was still an increase from $234 million in FY 14 to $266 million in FY 15.

At the University of Pennsylvania Health System, inpatient admissions were slightly low-er in FY 15 than budget but outpatient activity in high intensity services was mixed.

At last week’s meeting, a resolution was passed to change the start date of Michael J. Price’s term as a term trustee from February 24, 2016 to November 6, 2015.

Another resolution amended the Bylaws of Penn Medicine to include Lancaster General Health and Lancaster General Hospital as clin-ical components in the Penn Medicine gover-nance, effective August 1, 2015, and to estab-lish a regional planning committee.

The audited financial statements for FY 15 were approved as submitted by Pricewater-houseCoopers to the Trustee Committee on Au-dit and Compliance.

The Budget and Finance Committee pre-sented four resolutions, of which the first three were Century Bond projects: the Trustees au-thorized the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hos-pital’s HVAC system upgrades ($23.9 million); the Leidy Laboratory HVAC and lighting up-grades ($21 million); and the School of Veteri-nary Medicine’s HVAC upgrades for the Rosen-thal Building ($20.8 million).

The final resolution authorized the acquisi-tion by WXPN-FM of a non-commercial broad-cast radio license and related assets including a broadcast tower and real estate in New Jersey ($1.4 million loan) to reach listeners in North-eastern Pennsylvania and Northwestern New Jersey, areas that are contiguous with the cur-rent broadcast signal reach of WXPN.

Stephanie Kramer was appointed to the board of overseers of the Annenberg Center; Tom R. Millon and Cindy S. Moelis to the external ad-visory board of the Penn Institute for Urban Re-search; Joanne B. Ladley and Philip R. Wenger to the Penn Medicine Board as term members; James S. Riepe to the Penn Medicine Board as a Charter Member; C. Clair McCormick (chair of board at Lancaster General) to the Penn Med-icine Board and the Penn Medicine Executive Committee, ex-officio; Allison Weiss Brady and Avis H. Richards to the board of overseers of the School of Social Policy & Practice; and Wendy C. Holman to the board of overseers of the Uni-versity Libraries; Warren N. Lieberfarb was re-appointed to the same board.

Call for Honorary Degree Nominations: November 15Dear Colleagues, We invite you to nominate candidates to receive honorary degrees from the University of

Pennsylvania at the 2016 Commencement ceremony and beyond. Candidates should exempli-fy the highest ideals of the University, which seek to educate those who will change the world through innovative scholarship, scientific discovery, artistic creativity and/or societal leadership.

We encourage you to involve your faculty colleagues, within and across departments and schools, in the nomination process. Nominations should explain how nominees meet the criteria for selection and outline the nominees’ achievements and contributions. Please include as much biographical and other supporting information as possible, but do not contact the nominees, who should not know that they are being considered. We particularly encourage nominations from departments and schools whose fields have not been recognized by the awarding of honorary de-grees in recent years. Please note that it is University policy not to consider Penn standing facul-ty, trustees or school and center overseers for Penn honorary degrees.

Nominations are welcome any time, but for consideration by this year’s University Council Committee, it would be very helpful to have them in hand by November 15. Review is ongoing and candidates may ultimately be selected several years after their initial nominations. The Uni-versity Council Committee’s recommendations are forwarded to the Trustee Committee on Hon-orary Degrees and Awards for final selection. A list of previous University of Pennsylvania hon-orary degree recipients can be found at: https://secure.www.upenn.edu/secretary/honorary.html

Please send signed letters of nomination on your official stationery to: University Coun-cil Committee on Honorary Degrees, c/o Office of the University Secretary, 1 College Hall, Room 211/6303. Additional information on the honorary degrees process and an online nomi-nation form can be found at: https://secure.www.upenn.edu/secretary/HonoraryDegrees.php If you have any questions, please contact Lynne Sniffen at sniffen@upenn.edu or (215) 898-7005.

Penn emeritus faculty are eligible to receive honorary degrees through a special nomina-tion process. University deans propose candidates for consideration by the Council of Deans. The Council’s nominations are then reviewed by the President and Provost, and final selection is made by the Trustee Committee on Honorary Degrees.

Honorary degrees are important statements of Penn’s values and aspirations, and we strongly encourage your participation in this process.

invaluable to Penn as the University continues to grow its global presence.”

“Penn Medicine continues to expand its foot-print across the region. Our success depends on a strong leadership, systems infrastructure and solid internal controls. With Greg Pellicano, Penn is gaining a seasoned professional who can help us monitor and oversee the operational risks related to our expansion,” said Mr. Kasper.

Mr. Pellicano earned his BSBA and MBA from Drexel University. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA). He succeeds Mary Lee Brown, who retired from Penn in June after serving as Associate Vice President of OACP since 2004 (Almanac December 14, 2004).

Mark Andrew: U.S. Junior National Team

Mark Andrew, a freshman in Penn’s School of Engineer-ing & Applied Sci-ence and a member of the Penn men’s swim-ming & diving team, has been named to the U.S. Swimming Ju-nior National Team. This team is made up of the top six swim-mers in each Olym-pic event from the combined results of all U.S. Swimming or FINA-sanctioned meets from January 1 to Au-gust 30, 2015. National Junior Team members must be age 18 or under on September 1, 2015.

Mr. Andrew has the fifth-best time in the 200 and 400 individual medleys. At the Speedo Ju-nior Nationals in San Antonio, Texas in August, he touched the wall at 2:02.60 in the 200 and 4:22.10 in the 400. Penn: Tree Campus USA

The University of Pennsylvania earned Tree Campus USA designation for 2014, awarded by the Arbor Day Foundation. This is the sixth year that Penn has been recognized. Created in 2008, Tree Campus USA is a national program spon-sored in partnership with Toyota that honors col-leges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals. Penn achieved the desig-nation by having an active Tree Advisory Com-mittee, a Campus Tree Care Plan, financial and personnel resources allocated for the Tree Care Plan, an Arbor Day observance and tree-related service learning projects.

David Hollenberg: 2015 Wyck-Strickland Award

David Hollenberg, University architect at Penn, will receive the 2015 Wyck-Strick-land Award at a re-ception on October 15 at the Wyck, a histor-ic house, garden and farm in the German-town section of Phil-adelphia. Mr. Hollen-berg oversees the de-sign and preservation of Penn’s campus. Since 2006, he has led an array of projects that deftly reconcile the desire for architectur-al preservation and the drive for progressive de-sign, ensuring that the campus continues to be distinctively “Penn.”

For the past 27 years, Mr. Hollenberg has taught in Penn’s graduate program in histor-ic preservation in the School of Design. Pre-viously, he was a lead voice in planning $320 million in design and construction to transform Independence Mall. With John Milner Associ-ates, 1975-2002, he directed design for the re-use of iconic landmarks, including the Fair-mount Water Works and the Reading Terminal Headhouse.

The Wyck-Strickland Award honors individ-uals who have made outstanding contributions to the cultural life of Philadelphia through work that reflects a drive for progress and modernity and a sensitivity to the past.

Daniel Hopkins: Two APSA AwardsDaniel J. Hopkins,

who joined Penn Arts & Sciences this fall as an associate professor of political science, received two awards during the Annual Meeting of the Amer-ican Political Science Association (APSA), held September 3-6 in San Francisco, Cali-fornia. Dr. Hopkins was honored with the Clarence Stone Award, given by the Urban Politics Section of the APSA to a scholar who is “making a significant impact on the field of urban politics.” He also received the 2015 Warren Miller Prize for best article published in the journal Political Analysis, for “Casual In-terference in Conjoint Analysis: Understanding Multi-Dimensional Choices via Stated Prefer-ence Experiments” with coauthors Jens Hainm-ueller and Teppei Yamamoto.

Dr. Hopkins’ research centers on American politics, with a special emphasis on racial and ethnic politics, local politics, political behavior and research methods. He is the author of near-ly 30 papers and has a secondary appointment at Penn’s Annenberg School for Communication. He received his doctorate in government from Harvard University and before coming to Penn was an associate professor at Georgetown Uni-versity in Washington, DC.

A Colorful Collection of Outdoor Sculpture on Penn’s Campus

Six Triangles (above) by Ephraim Peleg was a gift from Philip and Muriel Berman of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Made in 1979, the red, purple, blue, green, yellow and orange painted steel sculpture rises 12 feet into the air and is in the Claire M. Fagin Hall west courtyard at Penn’s School of Nursing.

Double Lake Falls (at right) by Bryan Hunt was donated by Wharton alumnus Theodore Aronson and his wife, Barbara in 2013. The 9.5 foot statue, which was cast in bronze in 2002, was installed in the Shakespeare Garden outside of Fisher Fine Arts Library in August 2015.

Homage to Georgia O’Keeffe (below) by Thomas Cooney Crawford was donated by David Zenker. The 8.5 foot statue, made of bronze and finished with patina, was created in 1986 and was inspired by modernist artist Georgia O’Keeffe, who had died earlier that year. It is located on the northeast corner of 38th and Spruce Streets.

Jerusalem Stabile (below) by Alexander Calder is a 7.5 x 12 x 14.5 square-foot painted-steel sculpture that was installed in 1976 at Meyerson Hall.

We Lost (above) by Anthony Smith was built in 1966. The 11 x 11 foot painted-steel sculpture was first installed at College Green in 1975, but was removed in 1999 for conservation purposes and hidden for 12 years. In 2013 it was relocated to the Singh Center for Nanotechnology on Walnut Street.

Life Savers (at right) by Billie Lawless was given by art patrons Philip and Muriel Berman. The 8 x 7.5 x 10 foot statue is constructed of painted steel. Created in 1982, the statue is located at the entrance to the Veterinary Hospital at 39th Street near Spruce Street.

Shongun XXII (below) by Ernest Shaw was also given by art patrons Philip and Muriel Berman. The 16 x 8 foot statue is made of steel and is painted reddish brown. Sculpted in 1978, the statue is located in the School of Dental Medicine’s courtyard on 40th Street, near Spruce Street.

Polyhedron Forms (Black Forest) (at right) by Robinson Fredenthal was given by Philip and Muriel Berman. It is 11 x 4 x 8 square feet of painted 3/16’ plate steel, built in 1977 and installed at Blanche Levy Park near Meyerson Hall.

Quadrature #1 (below) by professor emeritus Robert Engman is 16 x 4 x 4 square feet and made of four irregular, painted pieces of mild steel, which are in front of a gridded pyramid-shaped MRI. It was built in 1977 and installed at T. G. Miller Plaza at HUP.

The University of Pennsylvania Art Col-lection contains countless works of art includ-ing numerous sculptures outdoors. These are a dozen of the many that are scattered around Penn’s campus, perhaps not as readily noticed as other more familiar iconic landmarks such as Ben on the Bench, the Split Button or LOVE. The most recent addition to the collection is Double Lake Falls.

Why not take a lunchtime stroll?

Tips for Handling Electronic Access in Employee

Termination Separating an individual from Uni-

versity employment can be a complicated process, especially with regards to their electronic access. Simply terminating someone in the Payroll system is not sufficient to remove access to all of the computing resources for that person. In a best practices scenario, the employee and their supervisor should work on a transition plan before the employee leaves, including inventorying all electronic ac-cess and transferring data to an appropri-ate data holder. This conversation should involve the Local Support Provider (LSP) as they may have insights into less obvi-ous resources that the employee accesses.

Unexpected separations are more diffi-cult for everyone involved, and identifying computing resources the former employee had access to can be daunting. In this situ-ation, bringing HR, the LSP and the local Security Liaison into the conversation as soon as possible will help complete elec-tronic access removal in a timely manner.

Q: Who are the charitable partners in the Penn’s Way 2016 workplace charitable giving campaign and what role do the Center for Responsible Fund-ing, Penn Medicine and United Way play?

A: The Penn’s Way 2016 campaign enjoys the support of three campaign management organiza-tions: the Center for Responsible Funding (CRF), Penn Medicine and the United Way of Greater Phila-delphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ). You may donate broadly to any of these organizations or target your contribution to any of the thousands of funds and agencies they represent.

CRF was the first nonprofit in the Philadelphia area devoted to promoting equity in philanthropic giving in workplace campaigns. CRF’s mission is to expand the fundraising capacity of grassroots nonprofit organizations working for social and economic change by opening workplace campaigns to fund federations that represent progressive or-ganizations.

Penn Medicine, our very own world-renowned healthcare enterprise, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to three equally valued and interrelated missions: patient care, health education and medical research. Penn Medicine integrates the Perelman School of Medicine with the Health System and shares a common focus with the University of Pennsylvania. Gifts to Penn Medicine organizations support a diverse range of urgent patient care needs.

United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life—a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family and the support seniors need for healthy and safe aging at home. Their goal is to create lasting changes and invest in prevention and interventions that break the cycle for genera-tions to come.

Q: Who can participate in Penn’s Way?A: All University and Health System employ-

ees are eligible and encouraged to participate in Penn’s Way. Even student workers and contracted employees can use the online pledge system if they have a PennKey and password. Alternatively, they can complete a paper pledge form with their Penn ID. Student workers and contracted employees can only donate via cash, check or credit card—not payroll deduction.

Pope Francis visited Philadelphia on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, leading city officials to plan for a crowd of up to one million visitors. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter expected the visit to be “the largest event in the city’s modern history.” The Department of Homeland Security designated the event as a National Security Special Event.

Penn suspended normal operations on Friday, September 25 in anticipation of the crowds, as the “security box” extended onto campus. The no-drive zone included the area from 30th to 38th streets and from Powelton Avenue to University Avenue. Approximately 300 essential personnel stayed on campus for the weekend in temporary accommodations and ate in the residential dining halls. Some members of the National Guard pitched tents at the Pennovation Works, while others stayed at the Armory on Drexel’s campus. In the meantime, Penn’s campus welcomed an influx of friendly visi-tors from all over the world, many of whom arrived at 30th Street Station or University City Station.

The Penn Police Department was chosen as the primary law enforcement agency in the Univer-sity City section of the festival grounds. Penn Police’s 118 sworn officers worked 12-hour shifts from Friday until Monday, accompanied by the Philadelphia Police, the Drexel Police, AlliedBarton Security, Amtrak Police, SEPTA Police and 500 National Guard troops. Six graduates of the Penn Vet Working Dog Center also assisted the officers in patrolling the area. The Emergency Operations Center at DPS managed the crowds on Penn’s campus and in the surrounding areas. The Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT), a student-run group that provides emergency medical services to the University community, received training on proper procedure and common medical condi-tions that occur in large crowds; its 22 members collectively worked 342 hours over the weekend.

Penn’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) also ensured that patients could reach HUP and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as well as Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, chosen as the primary trauma center for the pope in case of an emergency. Penn Medicine provided sleeping quarters at its hospitals for 2,000 doctors, nurses and staff members over the weekend and prepared for 100 babies to be born. They stocked up on extra supplies, including 80,000 pounds of linens, $1.25 million worth of medication and 560 pounds of chicken fingers for three cafeterias. In actuality, 10 babies were born at HUP and 15 were born at Pennsylvania Hospital. Additionally, four patients received organ transplants at HUP over the weekend.

Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital kept its Emergency Service for pets open all weekend, 24 hours a day. Many of Penn’s campus services also remained open throughout the weekend:

• College Houses were open, although guests not enrolled at Penn were not permitted inside. • Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) was open for walk-ins and urgent referrals on

Friday and Monday. CAPS was closed on Saturday and Sunday, as usual, but a provider was on call. • The Student Health Service was open for urgent care on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.• Residential dining cafes served brunch and dinner. Retail dining cafes were open with reduced hours.• Houston Hall, the

Bookstore, the Com-puter Connection and the PennCard Office kept normal hours.

• Pottruck Health & Fitness Center was open with reduced hours.

• Penn Transi t provided full service until Friday evening. P e n n A c c e s s i b l e Transportation was available until normal operations resumed on Monday. LUCY operated as usual.

• Three of Penn’s eight parking garages were open to accom-modate the essential employees’ vehicles.

• 50 IT staff mem-bers from ISC were on call all weekend.

The Penn Museum also began planning well in advance, and opened a special ex-hibition in honor of the pope’s visit with rare artifacts from the Penn Museum collec-tion and rare books and manuscripts from the Penn Libraries (Alma-nac August 25, 2015). Sacred Writings: Ex-traordinary Texts of the Biblical World is on display through No-vember 7.
