The vote came after review and assessment of a pilot program implemented in the 1991–92 academic year with 130 students and expanded to 240 students in the current year. Meanwhile, the School’s goal of $2 million for development of the new curriculum has been met with contributions from Bankers Trust, Chase Manhattan, Franklin Mint, McKinsey & Co., Mitsubishi Bank, NorthernTelecom, Proctor & Gamble and Wickes, PLC. Aimed at “providing greater breadth and depth of knowledge, increasing the integration and application of that knowledge, and develop- ing the qualities and characteristics that managers will need to succeed now and in the future,” the new curriculum features: Cross-functional integration — Tra- ditionally separate functional areas are integrated using teaching teams, integrative cases and computer simulations; Globalization — Increased global focus in all courses; new course in Global Strategic Management; elective international “immersion” program in Europe, Asia, or South America. New areas of study — Mini-electives on geopolitics, innovation, technology, risk and crisis management, information and the environment. Operations management and government/legal environment of business added as core requirements; Leadership skills — Ayear-long series of team-building and interactive sessions focuses on communications, ethics, inter- personal skills, negotiations, self-evaluation, career/life planning and how to effectively lead others in a corporate environment; Structural change – The first year begins with pre-entry preparation program designed for leveling of knowledge in quan- titative areas and humanities, and semesters are divided into tightly-focused six-week modules. The first year concludes with elective international immersion trip. The first half of second year includes integrative cases and simulations. The conceptual design for the new curriculum was developed in 1990 following a two-year study of the marketplace drawing on hundreds of CEO’s, corporate recruiters, alumni, academ- ics and senior executives from the U.S., Europe and Asia. Two committees, made up of faculty from various departments and MBA students, con- ducted surveys, focus groups and personal meetings throughout the year with faculty and Prizewinner: Architects Geddes Brecher Qualls Cunningham won Awards of Excellence from the A.I.A. at na- tional, state and city levels, and from the American Library Association, for their design of The Annenberg Institute. Next summer it will become SAS’s Center for Judaic Studies. A new alliance between Philadelphia’s prestigious Annenberg Institute and Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences will create a Center for Judaic Studies at Penn – the first such center outside Israel devoted exclusively to interdisciplinary research in Judaic studies. The merger, announced at the Trustees stated meeting Friday by Provost Michael Aiken, takes effect next summer, subject to the approval of the Orphans Court. The Provost thanked Ambassadors Leonore and Walter Annenberg for the support that made the alliance possible. The Annenberg Institute is a nonsectarian, nondenominational institution for postgraduate studies in Judaica, noted for its interdisciplinary research program and its outstanding library of 180,000 volumes including 6000 rare books, hundreds of manuscripts, and artifacts dating to 3000 B.C. Among its holdings is a Haggadah believed to be the oldest in the world, containing in unique form the four questions of Passover. Founded in 1907 by Moses Dropsie as Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning, the institution was renamed in 1986 when, after a period of declining enrollments and a major fire at its Broad and York location, The Annenberg Foundation came to its aid. The Foundation provided operating funds of $10 million for five years and a new $7 million building (above) at 420 Walnut Street. The Institute continued to consolidate as a postgraduate research program, phasing out teaching and graduate enrollment. It awarded its last degree in June 1992. The merger with Penn came after the Institute turned away overtures from at least three other institutions (Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University in Israel, and Brandeis University in Massachusetts), according to its broad chair, Seymour Kaplan, who called for “a new flowering of Judaic studies in academia” through the merger with Penn. Dr. David Goldenberg will remain in his current position as acting director of the Institute, and will continue to occupy its new award-winning building. Also to be continued are the annual research competition in which 13 to 16 fellowships are awarded, and the publication of the Jewish Quarterly Review. “A research university like Penn is the natural home for an institution like ours,” said Dr. Goldenberg. “I believe we will benefit from Penn’s scholarship and also be able to contribute to theirs.” SAS Dean Rosemary Stevens and Dr. Barry Eichler of Penn’s Jewish Studies Programs agreed. The merger “enormously extends Penn’s place in the world of Judaic studies,” the Dean said, and Dr. Eichler called it “...wonderful to have such a prestigious institution officially connected to us. This merger will create a very exciting intellectual atmosphere for Penn’s Jewish Studies Programs.” Continued Funding: The Annenberg Foundation has pledged further support to aid in transition, including endowment of the directorship at $1.25 million, and an additional five years’ operating funds. “Within the context of a great university, this distinguished research program in Judaic and Near Eastern Studies is assured of a permanence that was bound to elude it as a freestanding institution,” said Dr. Mary Ann Meyers, president of The Annenberg Foundation. “I expect the program to prosper both intellectually and in terms of increasing its permanent endowment. The exploration of the Jewish experience in its historical, cultural, and literary dimensions will surely be furthered as a result of a historic affiliation that fosters the interaction of scholars from many disciplines.
