Offensive linemen do not get a lot of love. That stops today. Penn's fun-loving, all-you-can-eat-buffet ruining, pancaking big men deserve attention.
“Would you raise money for the library and then charge students to go to the library? When the Pottruck people gave money to the gym, did they think they were going to charge students 20 bucks every time they went to work out?”
Avan Jogia discussed his experience as a multiracial actor at the Penn Bookstore Friday evening.

That subject line almost made me drop my phone.

Swapping out the Quaker's red and blue for Team USA colors is a huge honor for any collegiate athlete.
One of my favorite Youtubers once said, “College has become really all about the ‘college experience,’ rather than the college education, which is what you're there to get.” I immediately resonated, because during my first year at Penn, I focused much of my time on gaining the “college experience” — one that underscored my newfound freedom and resulted in many late nights spent with friends, spontaneous trips into the city, and a general imbalance of priorities. As for my “college education,” I skipped more classes than I can count.
I’ve never had bacon. I’ve never eaten a burger. I’ve never had spaghetti bolognese, a ham and cheese sandwich, or a steak with a side of gravy, and I’ve never wanted to. Growing up, the little meat I did consume was in the form of Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches and the occasional turkey dinner. My mom thought it best for us not to eat meat, and when I became old enough to make that decision for myself, I agreed with her. Vegetarian and vegan diets come with a plethora of benefits, not just for the one consuming them, but for this increasingly damaged planet we call home. Vegan diets can conserve clean water typically relegated to livestock, as well as reducing energy consumption necessary for the raising and processing of said livestock. So don’t get me wrong — I’m all for vegetables, but having the privilege to choose a vegan diet is something that needs to be recognized.
“They let Penn students have tattoos?” My grandfather asked incredulously upon seeing a third tattoo bloom on my arm. Unlike him, I don't believe that tattoos indicate diminished intelligence, but that’s just one of the many things we don’t see eye to eye on. My father’s T-shirt, emblazoned with the words “Second Amendment Established 1791,” passed my grandfather’s standards however, earning a sneer from me.
For the last 50 years, developments of all forms, including a baseball stadium, a casino, and a detention center, have been proposed both inside of and surrounding Chinatown. Another proposal by a large developer, which calls for the implementation of a Business Improvement District in Chinatown North, could further threaten this immigrant community. A BID is a commercial district in which all the property owners must pay an annual fee in exchange for special services such as cleaning, greening, and lighting.
In the age of Trumpist rhetoric, racist academics, politicians, commentators, and the like have abandoned scholastic discourse and, rather, in the manner of Trump himself, found comfort in spewing baseless, and undoubtedly racist, statements to bolster an increasingly visible white nationalist agenda. And so, it came as no surprise, when Penn Law Professor Amy Wax was found at a National Conservatism Conference this past week engaging in this behavior.
An arrest has been made after a team of three thieves stole unattended items in buildings across campus over the past few weeks.
Once the biggest international student body in the United States, a myriad of political events has transformed every single angle of the Iranian immigrant experience. With the turmoil of Iranian revolution, followed by war and oppression in the Middle East, different waves of Iranian immigrants have come here to find a safe haven in the United States. They are right here at Penn — possibly your neighbor, friend, or teacher — and have been contributing as historians, doctors, architects, chemists, and engineers. However, like any other immigrant experience, it is paved with different forms of xenophobia, racism, and religious hatred. In order to understand how and why we got here, one has to put the historical context of the past few decades into perspective, and use this understanding in order to shape a better future.
I came to Penn on the heels of a remission that I spent my remaining time here speculating about: Would I get sick again? How long did I have before another medical calamity hit? And my father — would he get better? Being a patient and being the daughter of a patient has been as much a part of my college experience as writing has.
On May 6, just over a month after he was hired, Penn Director of Strength and Conditioning Cory Walts announced that he will replace nearly his entire staff.
