QuakerNetThis umbrella term refers to all tools and resources within the Penn Alumni Online Community.
����Alumni Directory (often referred to as QuakerNet)The Alumni Directory is an address book for both current students and alumni. The address book function allows you to update your contact information with the University quickly and easily. You can also post a picture and upload your resume.
����The Penn Alumni Career Network (PACNet) PACNet is a University-wide, searchable database of alumni (graduate and undergraduate) who have volunteered to provide career-related guidance and support to current students and fellow alumni. PACNet is a subset of the alumni directory – not everyone with an alumni directory record has a PACNet record.
