Dear fellow Penn students,

SPEC recognizes that Fling was supposed to take place this weekend, and we wanted to reach out and share some other ways to stay virtually engaged with the Penn community. We know that Fling is one of the most anticipated events of the year, and as SPEC directors we also look forward to and take pride in putting on Fling. We love seeing Penn students come together for a weekend of fun away from classes, exams, and the daily stresses of being a Penn student. While we won’t get an in-person Fling this year, we are excited for future Flings and SPEC events and want to make sure that we put on the best events possible. For this reason, we want your input…

Here is a link to a survey to submit your feedback and ideas for future SPEC events: https://forms.gle/cpHx9PemTrTqBYCN7

Other ways to commemorate Fling:
-Submit your photos and videos from past Flings — we’ll be making a video highlighting your memories: https://forms.gle/W8fJEKpZU8JEpY6CA

-Share Fling photos on Instagram and tag or or to be featured on our accounts
