Harrison is named for W. Welsh Harrison, Jr., Class of 1904. Through his generous contributions to Penn's student residences, he continued the tradition established by his uncle, Provost Charles Custis Harrison, Class of 1862, who was one of the most prolific builders in Penn's history.

Each Friday at 5pm, we host the Harrison Happy Hour, featuring a new campus performing group or club. Here, Atma shares their award-winning, South Asian fusion a cappella sound.

With first year students starting through its Freshman Experience program, Harrison values the interaction of all four years of classes and students, staff, and faculty in Harrison work to bring the University of Pennsylvania home to all who live in Harrison.
