General Information

The Penn IUR Fellows in Urban Leadership Program (FUL) connects undergraduates interested in urban issues with high-level government, business, and civil leaders to inspire them to become tomorrow’s urban leaders. Each month, Fellows talk with leaders about the rewards and challenges of creating more resilient, equitable, and sustainable cities. Small intimate meetings allow local and regional leaders to share insights and advice as well as talk frankly about their work.
