More Penn-related news from The Bachelorette, the show where winning is losing and losing is double losing. A hearty 'good luck' to rumored The Bachelorette contestant, Wharton grad Doug Clerget, 33. The single dad (also leaked: he is wealthy and buff. What else could one possibly ask for in this world of ours?) will be television-vying for the heart of Bachelorette Emily Maynard.
Big news in the world of word and phrase meaning: 'Freshman Fifteen' now means dancing around in a knockoff FroGro top, at least according to the 2015 Class Board's new shirts. YouTube commenter TommyP993 had this to say: "one would think the shirts would cost $15...but no." We don't want the t-shirt, because it's ugly, but we'll have whatever they're on.
Does Silicon Valley want Wharton or does Wharton want Silicon Valley? Hard to say. But now that Wharton's West Coast campus is big and pretty and fancy, the two are getting cozy, as Bloomberg reports. Wharton's Executive MBA program, for businesspeople who want to learn more business during their weekends, has a branch at the San Francisco campus now, for easy access to America's technology epicenter. It's not clear what a stronger West Coast presence will bring to Wharton, besides better weather.
Van Pelt is redecorating, and it needs your help. Librarians have lined up samples of four chairs, three stools and a table past the main circulation desk, all of which seem to be imported from the Sims. Disregard the colors and fill out a survey card with your thoughts and feelings about the new furniture you'd like to see in VP.
The Green Fund is a pile of cash set aside for projects that will make The Environment pleased with Penn. Money goes to proposals, submitted by any member of the Penn community, that promote sustainability.
The 2012 batch of Penn Fellows has been announced, and the eight winners seem somewhat more professorial than the average professor. The program gives young-ish Penn professors from all the schools the opportunity to form connections around campus and to think deep and hard about universities in general.
Since you're probably sitting at your house becoming a World Wide Web explorer, here's a video to get you good and jealous. Ex-financial strategist and current photographer Kien Lam, a College Wharton alum who graduated in 2005, backpacked around the world for a year and compiled his pictures into the ultimate "miss u lotz but i'm in egypt" postcard. Enjoy the classical music and Locust Walk action at 3:05.
In barbershops that act as community hubs, Penn Med students saw an opportunity for public health education. Toting blood pressure cuffs and literature about healthy lifestyle choices, Penn students visit barbershops across Philly to administer tests for hypertension. Check out the pic courtesy of Philly.com's Ashlee Espinal. The initiative was founded by third year Penn Med student Sheriff Akinleye, a member of the Penn Med chapter of the Student National Medical Association. Haircuts and free health screenings and courtesy of Penn Med students– doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
You're studying for finals in classes you currently can't stand but were once optimistic about. So procrastinate by signing up for new and exciting classes to eventually hate and avoid studying for. Assuming you pick your classes based on advertising, here are some well publicized classes from which to choose:
Penn students do cool things, and Penn Architecture students do cool things while presumably wearing either very retro or very futuristic glasses. This past week, we've seen three Penn architects get attention for doing things in the actual world.
First, there are the Homeopathic Passion Drops, which are quite compelling, especially if your problem is a lack of lusty library encounters. Pop a passion drop, wink at any special someone over your laptop and disappear into the stacks.
Celery, mushrooms, carrots and onions. All worthy vegetables, but, like, snore. Good thing the culinary innovators at FroGro have mastered the magic of merchandising; why not spice up these lackluster veggies with the endless fun of a marshmallow? And, now that Congress has been so generous with the 'vegetable' label, this is very, very healthy.
Look what we found on Locust Walk! This is Mike Choi, Engineering freshman and self-taught “video game musicist.” He honed his blowing-into-a-piano skills on the mean streets of LA, specifically Little Tokyo, where he performs outside to raise money for his family’s contribution to his Penn tuition.
