What is a PIK Professor?

PIK stands for Penn Integrates Knowledge, an initiative conceived by President Gutmann to recruit scholars whose research and teaching exemplify the integration of knowledge. These scholars hold endowed professorships and joint appointments between Penn's schools.

Why are PIK Professors important?

The most challenging questions and problems of our time cannot be addressed by one discipline or profession. To comprehend our complex world, we must better integrate knowledge from different disciplines and professional perspectives in our research and teaching.

feature article: "Proof of Concept"

Penn's goal: to achieve a truly successful partnership between arts and sciences that will benefit our students, our society, and our world.

Recruiting and retaining superb faculty members is a key Campaign Priority.
