Ego of the Week
An Insider's Look at Mask and Wig
Ego talked to a group of Mask and Wig seniors for some behind-the-scenes info.
EOTW: Andres Martinez
This bilingual Bloody Mary took a break from his time on stage to show us the Andres beneath his mask and wig. He may not eat carbs or milkshakes, but he still had plenty of energy to entertain us.
EOTW: Daniel Fine
You don't need a pair of Glass-U glasses to recognize this entrepreneurial frat bro at Smokes. You could check out his feature in the New York Times, but you should probably read this instead.
Ego of the Week: Patrick Del Valle
When this Whartonite isn’t saving Penn traditions as a member of Class Board, you’ll find him Instagram stalking the shit out of you or doing McNasty things at any and all fast food restaurants
Ego of the Week: Alex Amstrup
Meet Alex, a management 100 TA and President of St. Elmo’s. This mortar boarder is studying management, OPIM and French in the Huntsman Program. He’s from Singapore, but really really wants to make it to Iceland.
Ego of the Week: Alex Wiggins
Identifying as a “black woman, lifelong learner, and people pleaser,” Alex keeps busy but has her flyering technique down to a T. She’s the Chair of the Dance Arts Council, sashays in Onda Latina, produces Penn Monologues, coordinates PennArts pre-orientation program, and networks in Black Wharton (say that five times fast!).
Egos of the Week: Men of BMOC
The boys of AXO’s annual philanthropy event, Big Man On Campus, are back. This year, they’ve been training hard (or hardly training?) See them shake that thang on stage November 12th at the Roxxy.
Ego of the Week: Olivia Route
Olivia is a girl of many interests: she’s director of Bloomers, a head coordinator for Penn Quest, and studies IR and Russian (with a minor in African Studies). Hailing from Alaska, she probably can’t see Russia from her house, but at least she can speak
Ego(s) of the Week: Eric and Wyatt Shapiro
They may look alike, but Eric and Wyatt are one of a kind. Back from an Engineers Without Borders excursion, Wyatt–the–trombonist leads the Mask and Wig band. Eric drums in African Rhythms and facilitates the Fellowship for Building Intercultural Communities. Rumor is they might be the first pair of Sphinx twins.
Ego of the Week: Kay Lu
All hail Madame President (of Mortar Board), a comm and cinema studies major from Hong Kong. When she’s not publicizing the Vagina Monologues, she’s dreaming of Hollywood.
Ego of the Week: Jordan Holmes
Sig Nu brother Jordan is all about Penn pride. Whether working it as the mascot or cheering with Red and Blue Crew, he never misses a game. Off the field/court, he’s chief of Carriage (the LGBT senior society), a Pennacle leader, and an architect-in-training. And BTW—he’s technically a varsity cheerleader.
Ego of the Week: Sarah Lindstedt
This Tri–Delta Mortar Boarder is beyond musically gifted: when she’s not singing with Penny Loafers or strumming chords on her guitar, she gets rhythmic in the Penn Samba drum ensemble. Fun fact—she’s gone a month without showering.
Ego of the Week: Alon Krifcher
This Friar may be a Penngineer, but at Hogwarts, he’d be a Gryffindor. A self–proclaimed tech nerd, you’ll find him studying, eating or running the show at Hillel.
Ego of the Week: Audrey Keller
This dancing queen splits her time between the Engineering Quad and Platt Performing Arts Center—and coincidentally, is also pretty good at doing the splits. When she’s taking a break from mechanical engineering, you’ll find her rehearsing with Osiris.
Ego of the Week: Gabe Jimenez
Gabe Jimenez wears many hats: director (SPEC Connaissance, Without a Net), IR buff (PennSID, IRUSA), mentor (Pennacle, Lime Connect Network) and RA—but always makes time for TV binges. Just don’t let him catch you drinking in your room.
Ego of the Week: Nina Wolpow
Meet the former editor–in–chief of Street. She’s a Friar, she’s a Tri–Delt and she’s a total babe. When she’s not working on her thesis, she’s probably McBiting at McDonald’s. We salute you, HBIC.
Ego of the Week: Ernest Owens
You know his name, you’ve seen his face, you’ve probably definitely heard his opinions. This week, we gave Ernest a chance to reveal the man behind the ego
Ego of the Week: Muhga Eltigani
This cultural maven dabbles in art, religion and theater—and still has time to be a triple major. She stage managed, acted and directed for the African American Art Alliance, is the former prez of the Muslim Student Association and promotes interfaith dialogue with PRISM. Damn, girl.
Egos of the Week: Will Smith, Nicole Webster, Nikita Anand and Kate Goldenberg
These seniors want YOU to invest in Penn’s future. The Co–Chairs of Seniors for the Penn Fund ask for donations and channel them into every corner of our school. They’re shooting for 1,740 donations—they’re more interested in senior involvement than the bottom line.
