Good morning, Penn.
Happy Tuesday! Take a walk around campus today — it’s beautiful out!
The Daily Pennsylvanian outlined five takeaways from last week’s interview with Penn President Larry Jameson, and museums across Philadelphia have responded to federal funding changes.
But first, Wharton sophomore and Class Board 2027 President Steven Li reflected on his two years in office as he prepares to step down from the role.
As the 2024-25 academic year comes to a close, Wharton sophomore Steven Li spoke with The Daily Pennsylvanian about his thoughts as he steps down from his two-year tenure as president of Class Board 2027.
Li — a former DP staffer — has been class president since his first year at Penn, focusing his term on student engagement, large-scale event planning, and building partnerships across campus. He traced his experience in student government to his time in Penn’s Pre-First Year Program, where early exposure to campus life and a background in leadership motivated him to pursue a leadership role on campus.
Li explained that forming connections with Penn community members and hearing responses from students were some of the most meaningful parts of his presidency.
“It’s definitely fulfilling, leaving bits of impact here and there,” he said. “To get that response — because I think this job is mostly a thankless job. There’s a lot of it that isn’t shown.”
