Building Perry World House Grand Opening “One of the things we are trying to do here at Penn is trying to amend that world order in ways that are able to bring back confidence in the average person in the need for collective action,” said Joe Biden, the 47th Vice President of the United States and Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor, discussing Penn’s role in global affairs. In conversation with CBS’s Lara Logan, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster (Ret.), a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Perry World House and former National Security Advisor, said, "There was a panel discussion yesterday at Perry World House and if you get access to those papers, some tremendous academics have great research in this area that places the current debate in historical context as well." world house student fellows world house student fellows bill burke-white U20
