The 60-Second Lectures have been a Penn Arts & Sciences tradition since 2003. You can find the School’s faculty on College Green every spring and fall, taking a minute to share their perspectives on topics that range from the ever-present threat of climate change to taxes to what makes a poem a poem. 

The 60-Second Lectures is generously funded by the Adolf and Felicia Leon Fund, which supports Penn Arts & Sciences programming and lectures series.
