Since graduating from Penn last May, 2025 President’s Engagement Prize winners Ejun Mary Hong and Jack Nicholas Roney have launched LensBright—an expansion of the Participatory Art Action Mentorship program, a weekly Penn-led art mentorship initiative that immerses local public high school students in various art fields. They are working to help provide equitable opportunities for under-resourced Philadelphia youth who want to explore creative pursuits and professional careers in photography and videography.
