The Penn Traditions program at Penn has a mission to foster a sense of pride in Penn’s history and traditions through a variety of events across a student’s undergraduate career. Each year at new student orientation the incoming freshman receive a gift from Penn Traditions. Practicum was charged with developing this gift.

Their challenge was to develop a better gift idea.

The deck is housed in a silver tin that can double as a desk container. The response was overwhelming. It has become its own tradition.
