Back in January, we introduced you to Ashley Hebert, a Penn dental student, Pottruck instructor, and—this is the part you might actually care about—star on this season of The Bachelor. (For most of you not keeping up, she’s still on. Suck it, haterz!)
Valentine’s Day—the day you look around and realize what it must have felt like for the animals that didn’t find their names on Noah’s exclusive guest list. Seems like everyone's paired up but you.
According to reliable sources, Mask & Wig will now be accepting credit cards on Locust Walk for their spring show, becoming the first student group at Penn to ever do so. Props! (Pun intended.)
Anticipating a lonely Valentine's Day tomorrow? Penn Libraries have got you covered.
Dropping on the Forbes list of billionaires from #6 in 2007 to #36 in 2010 (oh, awkward...) is Penn's very own Anil Ambani.
Vice President Joe Biden just can't get enough of Philadelphia. And if you just can't get enough of Joe Biden, then you're in luck.
So you know that Penn Museum exhibit about the Silk Road that everyone was getting all excited about? No? Okay, whatever, just play along.
In honor of Black History Month, we wanted to shine a spotlight on one of the most influential players in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. You might have heard of him—he's kind of a big deal—Martin Luther King, Jr.
We all knew Houston Hall served many functions--from hosting fright fests to housing a swimming pool to just being the place where you can get your grub on--but until this weekend, most of us didn't realize that the location doubled as a Bar Mitzvah reception hall, too. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised; Bar Mitzvahs are all the rage. Our very own Vanessa Bayer even had hers on national TV just last week!
Check it out!
2004 College graduate Rochelle Behrens (any relation to Adam?) hates what goes on under the button.
All the reality shows we secretly love are back in full swing, and if you need another reason to stay tuned into these guilty pleasures, we've got your back: the Quaker reality TV streak seems to be going strong with Penn Dental student Ashley Hebert as a contestant on this season of The Bachelor.
To the freshman men of the University (and a few awkward sophomores),
If you're a graduating senior still unsure of what you're doing post-college in an economy like today's, we hope you've considered the mail-order bride business. Uh, that is, the business of international love...with Eastern European hotties. It's like having an adorable long-distance relationship, only the exact opposite.
The folks at US News & World Report did the math, and it turns out that Penn is one of the most popular alma maters for the Forbes 500 CEOs, beat out only by Harvard (best make sure those babies are real...) and Columbia (okay, seriously, who are they sleeping with?).
If you thought the artwork on your SEPTA ride was cool, check this out! The NYC graffiti team SMART CREW recently shot us an email about their Ivy League tribute mural in Queens, NY.
Saint Nicholas and Madame Gutmann: one and the same? Let's think about it.
Earlier this week, Penn Medicine announced the formation of the Penn Hand Transplant Program, which is exactly what it sounds like. This is exciting news because it means that Penn is one of the very few places worldwide where hand transplants will be available.
Okay, so let's be honest. Penn doesn't exactly have the most badass reputation. Our mascot is the epitome of peace and nonviolence, our YouTube page puts out feel-good after-school-specials like this gem, and even our esteemed title as the Party-Hardy Ivy is slipping (too soon?). Luckily, amidst all the diplomats and scientists and cave dwellers that we've bred in our halls, there's also Annie Duke. Because you know what is badass? Professional poker.
