Alice Lai Platt found a treasure trove of Penn documents when she visited her parents.
Do you remember once you received your acceptance letter from Penn all the mail that we received about our first year?

After acceptance, there was usually a local reception for admitted students – to convince you to matriculate at Penn.

Alice received two letters from the United Minorities Council after she was admitted.

There is a letter about the academic integrity of Penn.

Another letter from the College about advising sessions on campus and a “hot-line” if you are unable to attend in person.

Finally, something Alice saved from the end of her time at Penn – a letter from the Annenberg School about a Communications Major reception for graduation.

Do you remember receiving all of this communication from Penn? Did you save any of your letters?
