It’s time for our annual Freshman Sendoff, this year honoring the Class of 2015 and their parents, and recognizing returning undergraduates and recent graduates. The fancy version of this invitation is attached in two different versions of Word. Here are the details, in case neither works for you:

WHAT: Penn San Antonio Alumni 2011 Freshman Sendoff for the Class of 2015

WHEN: Sunday, August 14, 2PM-4PM

WHERE: The Home of Jo-Anne Kaplan and Mike Gershman

Autism Spectrum Disorders: What do we know? What are we investigating?
Over the past 20 years, the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has increased markedly, spurring increased attention, speculation and research about the cause. Significant media attention has been given to recently published data on the disorder’s genetic heritability, non-genetic risk factors, and risks associated with SSRI’s, one group of commonly used antidepressant medications (see below for links to recent articles in Time and The New York Times), all of which confirms that both genes and environment matter. Join Penn Nursing’s Dr. Jennifer Pinto-Martin as she leads a timely discussion reviewing what is known about the causes of ASD and ongoing studies, including her CDC funded Study to Explore Early Development (SEED).
