Libby Rockaway (C ’19) immediately catches the attention of everyone around her as she walks about Penn's campus. No one can take their eyes off of her—or rather, her dog.
At last week’s print production night, we got a text that sent the Daily Pennsylvanian office into shockwaves: Penn’s operations had been suspended for Wednesday, Feb. 20. Our first — and possibly only — snow day of the year was here.

According to the Women in Computer Science (WICS) Census of 287 students in the Computer and Information Science (CIS) department last year, 55 percent of females in the CIS major at Penn have been told that their gender "unfairly contributed to [their] acceptance to Penn Engineering." According to that same survey, 54 percent of all females "have been/felt judged or micro–aggressed for studying Computer Science based on [their] race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation," and 55 percent of females in CIS "feel intimidated studying Computer Science/Engineering."

Something that immediately stands out when you speak to Kings Court English House (KCECH) Faculty Director Dr. Jorge Santiago-Aviles is his intense love of gardening.
George Washington, America’s favorite founding father, is turning 287 this month! In honor of Presidents Day, the holiday founded to commemorate his birthday, there are a host of events planned in Philadelphia. If you're feeling particularly patriotic but still scrambling to make plans for this February 18 (and the surrounding days), look no further.
I’m dreaming about the Eagle Nebula. Everyone recognizes a part of it even if they don’t know what it’s called—those three columns of glowing gas clouds and baby stars. I won’t remember anything about the dream once it ends but the shape of the pillars of creation remains stamped on the inside of my eyelids. My left eye opens before my right, which is glued shut by melted mascara. I blink stickily up at his glow–in–the–dark star–speckled ceiling—a poor substitute for what I’ve just woken up from. I try to reassess.

The Penn Band: you might have heard them scrambling across the football field, playing on College Green during convocation, or blasting the Mario theme song down Locust Walk. With marching drums and red and blue striped polos, this club boasts around 130 members and is hard to miss at Penn. And for its president, Jacob Linfesty (C’21), the band is as much a part of his Penn identity as the LOVE statue or the Quaker mascot.
I’m going to write my letter this week about something that’s constantly on my mind: my friends. Without Street, I wouldn’t have friends in college. Okay, maybe that’s teetering on the edge of hyperbole. But I wouldn’t have the same friends, and my friends now are the kind of friends who make working near–constant hours in a windowless office sound appealing. At the very least, they’re the kind of friends who are down to complain about it together.
For M&T junior Adele Li, tech is hardwired into her very being. She spoke about why she chose to join PennApps, the Penn organization that hosts the nation's largest and "premiere" student hackathon.

La La Land is one of my favorite movies. From its masterful 20th century Hollywood tribute to the heart–wrenching goodbye between soulmates, La La Land stuck with me for months after I first saw it. It stuck with me not only because of its dreamy soundtrack, but it caused the deep and unsettling realization that I do not have a passion.
“Growing up as an Arab–American post–9/11 is probably one of the most defining features of my identity. It's a challenge living in a country which is very demonizing of the place of your origin and being from a place that is very demonizing of the place that you're arriving to—America," Omar Khoury (C '19) says. "There's always a sort of animosity between the East and the West, so my life is really just trying to navigate the various divisions.”

This is the time of year when hundreds of girls in their best outfits swarm the city blocks, shivering in their zipped–up coats. They are going through the grueling rush process before joining one of the eight Panhellenic sororities at Penn. This week can be daunting to say the least, and that’s why Rho Gammas, who serve as recruitment guides to Potential New Members, play such an important role.
