The Daily Pennsylvanian sat down with Penn football’s Jason McCleod, Jr. to ask him 15 questions about his career, his time at Penn, and his personal life outside of football. Here is what Jason had to say:
Penn vaccinated 14,000 community members at its longest and largest-ever flu vaccine clinic.
When a young Allison Kuzyk went to the park one day, she never thought that she would find something that would change her life forever.
The Daily Pennsylvanian asked Aditya Gupta of Penn men’s tennis 15 questions about his sport, his time at Penn, and how he adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s what the junior had to say.
It started out with a slight sore throat in the morning. Then a runny nose followed by congestion. By the end of the day, I had many of the symptoms of the Delta variant of COVID-19. I panicked and became full of anxiety. Convinced this was more than just my seasonal allergies (despite being fully vaccinated), I immediately filled out my PennOpen Pass with my new symptoms and started a cautionary quarantine period at home for the sake of my professors and classmates. As is protocol, I went to my local pharmacy the next day to get a COVID-19 test and anxiously awaited the results. Over the next few days, I developed a fever and felt just downright sick. When the results came in, I was shocked: Negative.
On Saturday, Penn students and doctors at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania joined about 1,000 protesters who marched from the Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to City Hall demanding abortion rights.
Today is the tenth anniversary of Marina Keegan’s "Even Artichokes Have Doubts," a work that ignited a national debate on whether new graduates should chase passions or paychecks. Keegan — a senior when the piece was published in the Yale Daily News — was dismayed that approximately 25% of her employed peers would end up in finance or consulting after graduation. In her words, “In a place as diverse and disparate as Yale, it’s remarkable that such a large percentage of people are doing anything the same — not to mention something as significant as their postgraduate plans.” The anniversary invites us to reflect on what has, and has not, changed in the past decade, as well as contemplate the situation at our own institution.
In Penn’s career survey for the Class of 2020, over 50% of graduates who went directly into the workforce went into some form of finance, with 20% going into consulting. The pre-professional culture at Penn places heavy prestige on careers in finance, which pressures many Penn students who would otherwise pursue different careers into consulting. The influence Wharton has on Penn’s reputation, both on campus and to the rest of the world, certainly props up that prestige. There are dozens of consulting and consulting-related student organizations listed on Penn Clubs, all influencing wide-eyed first years. And with Penn’s ever-increasing cost of tuition, students are coerced into seeking jobs with high starting salaries like consulting.
Many local food trucks and businesses are earning pre-pandemic revenues and business practices, as campus is back in full swing.
Many first-generation, low-income first years and sophomores are excited to be on campus for the first time, but some expressed concerns about adjusting to life at Penn.
It was 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001 when the first airplane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. Penn students found out about the tragedy over the course of the next few hours on a day that rapidly transformed from a normal day of classes to an unforgettable tragedy.
On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, many of us come of age with a tragedy that we are unable to personally recall. Like many young people who were either unborn or not old enough to remember the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, I asked my parents where we were during that tragic day.
As many of us uneasily navigate a return to on-campus life, practicing gratitude is a beneficial habit we can cultivate. While we cannot control what happens with the COVID-19 pandemic, we can control how we respond to it. I would like to share my story of cultivating gratitude, present supportive research findings and share ways you can practice gratitude as well.
Nine Quakers, six countries, six sports. Here’s a look at the athletes who repped the Red and Blue in addition to their countries’ colors at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The U.S. women’s rowing team went into the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with a goal: win a gold medal. Although they fell short of this aspiration after finishing in fourth place, an integral part of that mission was Regina Salmons, Penn alumna and the youngest member of the Team USA Women’s Eight.
After a hard-fought battle to get to the Olympic stage, Wharton alumnus Sam Mattis reached the final round of the discus event and finished in eighth place out of the 12 finalists.
On July 23, Team USA women’s rowing won their heat at the Olympics, advancing straight to the Women’s Eight medal race, which will be held on Thursday, July 29 at 9:05 p.m. ET. The youngest member of the boat, at 24 years-old, is former Penn rower Regina Salmons.
For the first time since 1971, the Milwaukee Bucks have won the NBA Finals, and in doing so, two Penn alumni and a significant Penn donor earned championship rings.
By virtue of his 200-meter individual medley swim in April at the 2021 Pro Swim Series in Mission Viejo, Calif., rising senior Keanan Dols will be heading to the Olympics to compete for Jamaica.
Over half of American adults are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Loosened restrictions on masking and gathering gave Memorial Day weekend and the start to summer a semblance of normalcy. Yet, in many other countries, this is far from the case. India and Nepal have seen surges in cases and deaths in the past month, and many countries still haven’t administered a single dose of the vaccine.
