(02/17/25 3:19pm)

As the salt continues to melt the icy Locust Walk, we welcome the month of February. Penn clubs are calling for you to buy their candy grams and the drug stores are calling for you to buy their Valentine's teddy bears. As you engage in (or hide from) the festivities of Valentine's Day, we ask that you turn your attention from the paper mache to something else: actual love.

Inside the minds of walk-on athletes at Penn

These athletes are the backbone of their teams. They’re walk-ons.
