The Center for High Impact Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania has released its first investment guide for philanthropists seeking to make a meaningful impact on a core issue in the U.S. educational system: stopping the flood of at-risk students who fail to develop the skills necessary to become productive, self-reliant adults.
David L. Cohen, executive vice president of Comcast Corporation, has been nominated to become chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania effective Nov. 7, 2009, following the conclusion of the trustees' fall meetings.
