The University of Pennsylvania will name its Center for Community Partnerships for Edward Netter, a 1953 graduate of Penn's College, and his wife, Barbara, in recognition of their commitments of more than $10 million.

"One of Penn's great strengths lies in our ability to work hand-in-hand with our West Philadelphia neighbors to improve lives," Penn President Amy Gutmann said.  "This extraordinarily generous gift from Barbara and Edward Netter will enable Penn students, faculty and staff to deepen and expand this creative and dynamic partnership.  The Barbara and Edward Netter Center for Community Partnerships will greatly enhance Penn's ability to make a difference in our West Philadelphia community while creating new knowledge that can benefit communities everywhere."
