On Saturday, October 27th, one of the greatest acts of anti–Semitism in American history occurred in Pittsburgh at the Tree of Life Synagogue, where eleven Jews were killed while they were observing Shabbat. The three co–presidents of Penn Hillel, Jeremy Wilson (C ’19), Jennifer Reiss (C ’19), and Samantha Brooks (W ’19) share their perspectives on the tragedy and how they plan to unite the Jewish community and the Penn community at large in the wake of this act of hate.

"de gustibus non est disputandum." I remember like it was yesterday—seeing this phrase scrawled on the yellow–dusted chalkboard in my seventh–grade Latin classroom.

While most of us are used to seeing political debates in Washington D.C., last month, Houston Hall acted as a political forum where both Richard Murphy (C ‘19), executive director and acting president of College Republicans, and Dylan Milligan (W ‘20), president of Penn Democrats, met to discuss the 2018 midterm elections.

Although it may not be common in college, I am abstinent. I want to hide when sex enters the conversation—it makes me feel excluded. The way my high school peers used to talk about it put an entire gender into a pool of unidentified bodies. There was no way I could crawl out of the sea and get them to hear me. Their sexual nonchalance made me an outcast, because I didn’t see them the way they saw me.

David Gordon (C ‘19) didn’t always plan to double major in biology and architecture. When he entered Penn, he knew he was interested in architecture and liked how the design curriculum was taught in a liberal arts context, but also recognized that he had a “science brain.” He hoped that taking classes in both fields would allow him to come to a decision. “And here I am now, still doing both,” David says.

While Gizem Saka’s students may know her for her expertise in economics, many would be surprised to learn of the Wharton professor’s impressive past as a national gymnastics champion and exhibition artist.

Aggrey Odera never would have anticipated that he’d be studying in the US, let alone that he’d be majoring in philosophy. Between his early morning swims and his late–night reading sessions, Street was able to catch up with this Penn senior and hear all about his past four years.

On Sunday, Nov. 4, we turned our clocks back and gained an extra hour of blissful sleep. While many of us appreciated this opportunity to catch up on some much–needed rest, gaining an hour of daylight in the morning means losing an hour of light in the afternoon.

I met Moksh Jawa (W, E ‘21) on a Saturday afternoon right after his meeting with his teammates from HCMG–391 on Healthcare Entrepreneurship. Though he knew nothing about health care prior to enrolling in the course and didn’t have to take the class for any requirements, he was simply interested in learning more about the industry. He said, “Everyone else in the class is very experienced in healthcare. For me, it’s more about getting some experience on something that I didn’t know about.”

As I saw the announcement on Facebook, I clicked as fast as I possibly could. My absolute favorite podcast, “Pod Save America,” was doing a live show in Philadelphia on October 26. After I filled out the form for tickets, I got an email saying “You should hear from us within 5–7 business days. If you have not heard from us by 5:00 p.m. on October 25th, that will mean that unfortunately, we have been unable to fulfill your ticket request.” That email came on September 25, and I didn’t get another email for 5–7 days; I didn’t even get an email by 5:00 p.m. on October 25th. I got the email that I snagged tickets for the show at 11:09 p.m. the day before.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. And I think it all stems from my much too early obsession with horror movies.

Charlotte Le’s (W’22) passion project might be one you’re familiar with—we’ve probably scrolled through Instagram videos of these satisfying phenomena yet never thought too much about the business behind them. Her work has made Charlotte, in her native country of Vietnam, a social media sensation and a tycoon in the field of slime.

It’s hard to miss green–haired Keri Zhang (C ‘21) carrying a hefty scooter to travel back and forth on campus. Being an active member in two arts and performing troupes, she needs to frequently visit the PAC shop on 41st and Walnut, and the 20–minute walk can be exhausting. Her impeccably fashionable style—graphite–green, second–hand, extra–large fur jacket, green blouse imprinted with pink lotus flowers, and neon orange pants—compromises functionality, and yet she doesn’t feel bothered.

Penn Beekeeping Club co–presidents Abhi Motgi (W ‘20) and Joost Vanderborgh (C ‘21) are passionate about bees. But as of late, they're leading a beekeeping club that has no bees.
