While he is heralding his victory as a “Celebration of Freedom,” and promising that his government will be a “defender of the Constitution, democracy and liberty,” Brazil's president-elect Jair Bolsonaro presents a new political reality to many people worldwide — including presumably the 75 or so Brazilians who are part of the Penn community.
You are nine years old. Your mom comes into your room at 6:30 a.m. to wake you up. You climb out of bed, brush your teeth, have breakfast, then run to the bus stop.

After a day of historically high turnout at the polls, Penn students gathered at bars, fraternity houses, and dorm lounges to monitor the results of Tuesday's midterm elections. The atmosphere across campus changed as various races were called throughout the night, but as the early morning approached, it grew clear that the Democrats had taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives while the Republican party had secured a majority in the U.S. Senate.
I’m not the biggest partier. Growing up, I never went to any school dances, and only after my friends relentlessly pestered me, I agreed to go to senior year prom. I didn’t have anything against parties; I was simply uninterested. However, my interest began to grow after I committed to Penn, widely known as the “Social Ivy” and one of the best party schools in the country.

As a group of joggers barreled down Locust Walk this Friday, heads turned. Maybe it was because of the complex maneuvers it took to get around the crowds. Or, maybe it was because of the lecture on blockchain technology that was happening in the middle of the jogging group.
Beneath the silent first floor of the Fisher Fine Arts Library, Penn students might be surprised to find a room filled with bustling printing presses and a hand press dating from approximately 1850 — the very kind Benjamin Franklin would have used in the late 18th century.
After the University announced a new policy that would require sophomores to live on campus, Penn students responded en masse, citing issues concerning lack of cheaper housing options, the potential damage on the West Philadelphia community, and the risk of destroying Greek Life.
The summer after my freshman year at Penn, I was raped by another student.
Bipartisanship is becoming increasingly elusive in the United States, pundits say. But Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), a 1997 College graduate, has nonetheless made it his priority.
Penn football just completed its longest road trip of the 2018 season. In 2019, the Quakers are going a bit farther.
