Penn Cracks Down on Visiting Other People's Animal Crossing Islands

(04/01/20 4:59pm)

Last week, Penn undergraduates received a strongly-worded email from Provost Wendell Pritchett, urging them to socially distance not only physically, but virtually: “Any student, student organization, or group of students found to be congregating on campus, or off campus, or on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, will face immediate intervention by Penn Police.”






Editorial | We Don't Need a Trader Joe's Shuttle. We Need a Trader Joe's Private Helicopter.

In December, the Undergraduate Assembly began a pilot program for a nighttime shuttle to the Trader Joe’s grocery store at 22nd and Market. This project reflects a well-intentioned effort from the UA to respond to student needs and increase campus wellness. However, this shuttle service is not the best way to accomplish these goals.

You might think that she would be nervous to graduate and leave the Penn bubble. You would be wrong.

"He was always tinkering with computers and things," Sandra Robinson, his mother, recalled. In high school, Robinson even built his own homemade vibrators and sold them to girls unsatisfied with their boyfriends, displaying a technical ingenuity and business acumen that made him a perfect candidate for the M&T program.
