Monday, February 10
Good morning, Penn.
Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed watching the Super Bowl last night, and I hope you win your day just like the Eagles won the game.
Path@Penn introduced a new course-planning feature this semester, and Penn researchers have developed a new method to efficiently distribute vaccinations.
But first, The Daily Pennsylvanian was on the ground across campus and on Broad Street as the Eagles took home their second Super Bowl victory last night.
Last night, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, avenging their championship loss in 2023 and giving the franchise its second Super Bowl title. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took home the Most Valuable Player award after throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns while adding 72 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.
As the game clock reached zero, thousands from across the city flocked to Broad Street to celebrate the Birds’ victory, including many students from Penn. Among them were Philadelphia natives, lifelong Eagles fans, and those new to American football as a sport. But in the moment, one feeling united them all: joy.
Yesterday evening, the Penn community gathered across campus to watch the Philadelphia Eagles take home their second-ever Super Bowl victory. From Houston Hall to the high rise rooftop lounges, see how The Daily Pennsylvanian’s photographers captured a night filled with anticipation, excitement, and emotion.
