2019 Employee Resource and Volunteer Fair

September 27, 2019

Tuesday, October 1, 2019, 12pm–1:30pm. The purpose of the fair is to provide information to Penn faculty and staff regarding the vast and varied campus resources and services available to them as well as volunteer opportunities. The fair will be open to the entire Penn community.

The Penn Professional Staff Assembly (PPSA) and the Penn Weekly-Paid Professional Staff Assembly (WPPSA), in partnership with the offices of the Executive Vice President and the Division of Human Resources, are co-sponsoring an Employee Resource and Volunteer Fair on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 from 12:00-1:30 p.m. in Bodek Lounge and the Reading Room, Houston Hall. The purpose of the fair is to provide information to Penn faculty and staff regarding the vast and varied campus resources and services available to them as well as volunteer opportunities. The fair will be open to the entire Penn community.
 
In addition to the Employee Resource Fair there will be a Volunteer Fair organized in tandem with the event. This Volunteer Fair takes place in the Reading Room of Houston Hall. PPSA invites groups from the Philadelphia area to inform members of the Penn community about the volunteer opportunities they have available. There will be approximately 10-15 local non-profits represented at the fair.
 
The University Archives and Records Center has arranged for Penn’s shredding vendor, DocuVault, to shred personal papers free of charge for Penn employees during the Fair. This shredding service provides a great opportunity to reduce risks - such as the possibility of identity theft - by securely disposing of confidential papers that are no longer needed. Another Penn vendor, Gigabiter, will also be at the Fair to securely dispose of electronic records and equipment (e.g., computers, hard drives, old TVs, monitors, and other personal consumer electronics) at no charge to Penn employees.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration to participate in the 2019 Employee Resource Fair. For all inquiries, please contact ppsa@lists.upenn.edu. We look forward to seeing you there!
