UME is proud to be one of the largest student-led media & entertainment organizations at the University of Pennsylvania. We explore numerous channels of the M&E industry, including music, film, gaming, and television. We host numerous events and partner with a number of organizations on and off campus to bring the most thoughtful speakers, meaningful workshops, and professional networking sessions to our members. Through our conscientious and consistent efforts to maintain relationships with alumni and build new relationships with current members, we hope to bridge the gap between business and the vast and exciting world of media & entertainment.
