Penn Mentor Meals

All members of the Penn community now can initiate a meal between students (undergraduates & graduates) and mentors (i.e. current or past professors, teaching assistants, advisors, RAs, PHINS, Peer Advisors, and members of Penn’s professional staff). The Penn Mentor Meals Program encourages students (undergraduate & graduate) and their mentors to engage in intellectual or casual conversation outside of the classroom and simultaneously provide them with the opportunity to do so free of charge over lunch or dinner.

The program options range from 1-on-1 experiences to large meals organized for classes and groups up to 100 students. Lunch is served at University Club at the Inn at Penn. We are only accepting reservations from 11:30am to 2:00pm for lunch Mondays through Thursdays. Dinners at dining cafes across campus are available by request only. Please contact Ray Franckewitz, rayf@upenn.edu, to do so.

You may start booking your Penn Mentor Meals reservation(s) for fall 2024 on Tuesday, August 27; all lunch reservations will start on Tuesday, September 3.

The Penn Mentor Meals Program is now open for booking reservation! Visit the Penn Mentor Meals Program page for full instructions and to make your reservation.
