PHENND University Partner Meetings bring together university, nonprofit, and school-based practitioners around common themes. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions of presenters, network with peers and obtain concrete information on how to connect with the School District of Philadelphia and schools in general. The three main goals for K-16 University Partners meetings are:
• provide practitioners with “take aways” (e.g. ideas you can adapt for use in your own programs)
• exposure to new and innovative programs and practices
• introduction to key School District personnel and strategies
