Many Penn students spend their spare hours doing homework or participating in extracurriculars — but some find the time to make a few extra dollars on the side.
A short preface: Penn, surely, is strengthened by its status as a progressive institution. It is diverse and eclectic, and it empowers all to seek the resources and opportunities they deserve. As an institution it promotes the traditional liberal values (like tolerance of diverse opinions) which improve our modern society, and it provides a space where students can embrace these values.
It seems like the only Penn alum that people are talking about these days is Donald Trump, and he barely went here. The media should really be focusing more on people like Seth Berkowitz, the dude who started Insomnia Cookies from his dorm room while he was just a junior at Penn. This man spends his life baking cookies and making bank and he didn’t even have to OCR to get the job. Take notes, Columbia Band.
In crafting the personas of the presidential candidates, media outlets have emphasized the role higher education has played in the development of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The relationship between the presidential candidates and their respective undergraduate institutions has, in turn, motivated discussions among students at Wellesley and the University of Pennsylvania. In its last edition, the Wellesley News endorsed Clinton and appraised her relationship to the college. Meanwhile, as the newspaper of Donald Trump’s undergraduate institution, The Daily Pennsylvanian Opinion Board has a responsibility to discuss its relationship — or lack thereof — with the candidate and his values.
In what would have been a poetic travesty, Hunter the Punter didn’t always want to be a punter.
On October 5, 2015, Penn was one of many Philadelphia-area colleges that lived under the threat of an anonymous online post foreshadowing a mass shooting. Due in part to the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College just days before, there was a palpable sense of tension on campus. Security was increased and some professors, out of an abundance of caution, even cancelled classes for the afternoon.

Kelly Writers House Assistant Director for Development Arielle Brousse never expected that she would become a spokesperson against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Five MLS draft picks. Four NCAA Tournament berths. Three Ivy League titles. Two Ivy League Players of the Year.
In most team sports, there’s no individual accolade as prestigious as the goal-scoring record. Penn field hockey’s Alexa Hoover, the Quakers’ star attack from Collegeville, Pa., knows quite a bit about that, having broken the record halfway through her junior season. Years of hard work have launched Hoover into the conversation for Penn’s all-time greatest in field hockey and, according to her coaches and teammates, she has earned every bit of that praise over the years.
For many staffers in College Houses & Academic Services, it was the latest in the long line of sexist and culturally insensitive comments from their boss, Martin Redman: the so-called “Africa comment.”
With the help of a startup, groups on Penn’s campus can raise money by doing nothing more than eating out with friends.
An underclassmen friend applied to one of my clubs and was rejected. I encouraged all the freshies I know to apply, including this person, and I know they were disappointed by the result. I feel like I’m partially responsible for making sure that they feel positively about Penn and find a place here. Now they want to talk about what “went wrong.” But after what happened, I’m not sure what to say or even if I should be the one to reach out.
For Penn sprint football, it’s like deja vu all over again.
