Soon-to-be Professor Penn
The [1] Asian American Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania has just revealed that Kal Penn ([2] The Namesake, [3] Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle) will join the faculty next spring as a visiting professor.
The decision was announced Saturday night at a banquet celebrating the program’s 10th anniversary. Penn expressed interest in teaching at the school after a [4] campus visit last November, where he spoke about the experience of being desi in Hollywood.
The actor will teach two courses: “Images of Asian Americans in the Media,” and “Contemporary American Teen Films.” ([5] via)
