Students Over the Bridge
President Seligman discusses the Brooks Landing Project and says it
is the first step toward matching a similar revitalization effort in
Philadelphia accomplished through a partnership between city officials
and the University of Pennsylvania. "They rolled up their sleeves;
they worked together. They worked on developing the economy immediately

of new retail."
