Fontaine Society
Basic Page Sidebar Menu Penn GSC
The Fontaine Society honors the legacy of Dr. William Fontaine, Professor of Philosophy, the first African-American appointed to the Standing Faculty at the University of Pennsylvania by supporting the academic development of PhD students whose background, research, and experiences demonstrate an interest and capacity to enhance Penn's vibrant and welcoming learning community.
In addition to the fellowship program, the Fontaine Society sponsors a range of initiatives throughout the year to enable fellows and interested PhD students to come together to support one another’s academic progress and enhance the University campus as a whole, through their contributions to the scholarly community.
