Good morning, Penn.


Including today, we only have two more Tuesdays — or twos-days — until classes are wrapped up for the year. We're in the home stretch.

Two Penn students received the 2024 Harry S. Truman Scholarship, and a group of alumni is calling for the University to punish eight Penn professors for allegedly antisemitic behavior.

But first, the DP has everything you need to know ahead of today's Pennsylvanian primary elections.

  A group of alumni sent a letter to Interim Penn President Larry Jameson calling on the University to investigate and hold eight Penn professors accountable for allegedly antisemitic behavior.

  Hours before the start of Passover, days after Penn's suspension of a pro-Palestinian student group, and amid escalating tensions at universities nationwide, Jameson announced several actions related to increased community support.

  College and Wharton juniors Aravind Krishnan and Tej Patel received the 2024 Harry S. Truman scholarship, winning up to $30,000 in funding for higher education geared towards careers in public service. 

  Penn researcher Carl June was awarded the 2024 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences by actors Olivia Wilde and Regina King at a star-studded Los Angeles event.

  Nirby, a soil analytics tool to reduce farming expenses associated with fertilizing, won the Perelman Grand Prize of $50,000 at Penn's annual Startup Challenge.

FROM 34TH STREET MAGAZINE


Last Friday, it was Metro Boomin and Daya. In 1990, Jerry Seinfeld and Meatloaf. But if Street's trip down Spring Fling memory lane shows us anything, even as the times change, the crowds stay the same—wildly intoxicated and confidently mumbling the lyrics to songs they barely know. Street Photo Editor Jean Park dug through the archives to bring us back to Flings long remembered. And if you're wondering who some of these artists are—don't worry, we were too.
