The event will take place in Stiteler Hall (208 South 37th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104) on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Stiteler Hall is a modern brown-red brick building sitting at the intersection of Walnut and 37th Street just south of the Graduate School of Education (see photo or red pin on map above).
