The University of Pennsylvania mourns the death of Raymond G. Perelman W40 HON14, one of its most significant and committed partners. Through his peerless generosity and abiding engagement, Penn has become an even greater global force in patient care, research, and medical education. The Perelmans are a true Penn family. Raymond was a Wharton School alumnus, and many of his children and grandchildren, including son and University Trustee Ronald O. Perelman W64 WG66, are Penn graduates. In October 2011, President Amy Gutmann presented him with the University of Pennsylvania Medal for Distinguished Achievement, one of the University’s highest honors.
