“I easily learned more in half a week on the Penn Berlin and
Rotterdam program than my entire semester abroad. It was
so jam packed with exclusive learning opportunities.”
—DAMIEN KOUSSIS, ECONOMICS, WHARTON
“The trip to PJM helped
me gain more insight in
the energy field and has
encouraged me to learn
more about it in the future.
A trip like this helps a
freshman like me become
familiar with some basics
of an energy company. It
was interesting to learn
the difference between
capacity and reserves, as
well as how different desks
communicate with each
other in the control center.”
—YIDE ZHAO, UNDECLARED,
SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
“The Kleinman Center is a tremendous asset at Penn.
I’m so grateful for the numerous educational and
professional opportunities that the center has provided me.”
—ANNA CHEYETTE, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
“What I liked especially about the GREEN program is that it
allowed me to meet other college students from all around the
nation from various backgrounds that all shared my interest
in renewable energy. I can confidently say I came out of this
brief yet impactful experience more mature and greatly more
knowledgeable about the field of renewable energy.”
—MAHER ABDEL SAMAD, ECONOMICS, WHARTON
