About the Goldberg House

The Goldberg House is the former name of the current Fisher Hassenfeld College House. Goldberg House was proud of its variety of seminar courses it offered to its residents. In-House seminar topics have included "Law and Lawyers in America: Perspectives in Film and Literature," and "Issues in American Democracy." The House hosted at least one Critical Writing Seminar each semester, taught by its resident Critical Writing Fellow, and the Faculty Master.

History

In 2002, the University of Pennsylvania’s historic “Quad” site of the oldest dormitories on campus received a joint $11.5 million commitment from Penn alumni Alan Hassenfeld and Jerome Fisher , and Mr. Fisher’s wife, Anne. In recognition of their gifts, the University renamed the Goldberg College House as Fisher Hassenfeld College House.
