Penn Momentum


Announcing Momentum 2020: The Power of Penn Women, a three-day conference on October 2-4, 2020, celebrating the power of Penn women. Dr. Gutmann and honorary chair Andrea Mitchell invite you to join us on campus as alumnae of all backgrounds and generations gather to learn, connect, and share how we are making an impact in our communities and the world. 

We sincerely appreciate all of the Penn alumnae who have given their time to this project, which is truly one from the heart. http://www.pennmomentum2020.com #powerofpennwomen #momentum2020

Jane Gutman CW’73, PAR’14, PAR’16 has been instrumental in so many Penn efforts on the West Coast, tackling everything from opening Penn's first Western office,  to launching the Southern California Regional Advisory Board (SCRAB)  to expanding Penn's admissions, fund raising and alumni relations efforts.  Jane worked as the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Admission and Director of the Western Regional Office for UPenn for over thirteen years, and then became an active volunteer for Penn in Los Angeles. For the past 20 years, with an added Clinical Psych degree, she has been helping  students  of all backgrounds with the college admissions process as a speaker and counselor.

Jane is truly all things Penn and all things volunteering, so when the opportunity arose to start Penn Serves LA, Jane was right there making it happen. On any given day, you might find her planning Penn events by scoping out Penn Serves' next projects or advocating in D.C. for global human rights or adventuring and trekking in faraway places where she is supporting women’s crafts collectives and doing good. Jane was recognized with the 1999 Alumni Award of Merit by Penn for her outstanding lifetime achievements and contributions to the University.
