The new tradition is designed to bring sophomores together DEENA ELUL Senior Reporter

More than 1,000 members of the sophomore class gathered on College Green Tuesday night for the inauguration of UNight, a new tradition meant to celebrate class unity.

Class Board 2021 planned U-Night to provide a culmination to the sophomore

year experience similar to Convocation, Hey Day, and graduation. The event featured free food, music, and raffles, as well as speeches from Provost Wendell Pritchett and Penn President Amy Gutmann. This was followed by a lantern-lighting ceremony designed to demonstrate class unity, which a number of students said was their favorite part of the event.

Many students arrived wearing free UNight t-shirts which Class Board 2021 had distributed in the days before the event. As they entered, students were handed free

lanterns and raffle tickets, and many flocked immediately to enter tickets for prizes such as Apple AirPods and Beats headphones.

Before the formal programming began, students walked around College Green in small groups of friends, enjoying burgers and macaroni or taking pictures in a photo booth.

Several students initially said they were drawn to the event’s free food.

“We love every opportunity we can get for free food,” College sophomore Jessica Anderson said.

“We just came for free food,” College

sophomore Julia Schwartz added. “We’ll see what the rest entails.”

After about half an hour, Class Board 2021 President and College and Wharton sophomore Lizzie Youshaei urged students to gather around a stage set up in front of College Hall. In her opening remarks, Youshaei encouraged sophomores to make the most of their time at Penn.

Penn Museum to move largest sphinx in the western hemisphere This will be the Sphinx’s first move since 1926 MARIRI NIINO Staff Reporter

When the Sphinx of Ramses II was first brought to the Penn Museum in 1913, Penn students cheered as the 12.5-ton monument was pulled on a horse-drawn cart through the streets of Philadelphia.

Now the monument, which is the largest sphinx in the western

hemisphere, will be moving again from the Museum’s Egypt Gallery to its main entrance hall, the first move since it entered the Egypt Gallery in 1926. The 12.5-ton sphinx poses significant challenges to the relocation team, who will be tasked with moving the massive statue.

Penn Museum Director Julian Siggers said the move is part of the Museum’s three-phase Building Transformation project, which aims to modernize the museum’s appearance to attract visitors from the

greater Philadelphia area. The Penn Museum website lists June 13 as the scheduled moving date.

Siggers said that when planning the renovation of the Museum’s main entrance, directors looked for something dramatic to greet visitors.

“The Sphinx is the unofficial mascot of the Museum,” Siggers said.

“Everybody will be able to see him as they come in.”

After a decade on campus, Mertz will leave Penn in May to become the executive director of the Clery Center, whose mission is to create safer campuses for college students nationwide.

Jessica Mertz will leave Penn in May KATHARINE SHAO Staff Reporter

When Jessica Mertz became the inaugural director of Penn Violence Prevention in 2014, the office had just one employee — Jessica Mertz. She has since helped the office grow to employ three full-time staff as well as half a dozen students. Mertz has occupied many different positions on campus, but she has always remained at the forefront of Penn’s fight to

end sexual violence. A decade after arriving at her first job on campus, Mertz will leave Penn in May to become the executive director of the Clery Center, whose mission is to create safer campuses for college students nationwide.

Mertz first came to Penn in 2009 to work in the Penn Women’s Center as a violence prevention educator. One of the earliest challenges, Mertz said, was trying to get people to talk about violence and acknowledge it as a larger problem embedded not only on college campuses, but also in society.

Mertz said she’s come a long way, and she’s immensely proud of the work she and her team have done with PVP. Mertz recounted a memory of a session conducted through PVP where she asked students to name the communities they’re a part of, and a number of them named PVP as their community.

“I have never felt prouder than I did in that moment.”

Mertz said. “Because it showed me that [PVP] is a big part of students’ experience SEE MERTZ PAGE 2

Rabbi Josh Bolton will leave Penn to direct Brown RISD Hillel He has been at Penn Hillel for eight years

Penn Hillel Executive Director and Campus Rabbi Mike Uram said Bolton’s departure is bittersweet.

“The dream is that you work with awesome people, and that working at a place like Penn Hillel gives them a chance to

grow and to develop professionally so that they land one of the best Hillel jobs in the country,” Uram said. “So, we’re just proud.”

While at Penn, Bolton has led several programs for JRP, including the Beren Greek Life Seminar, a year-long fellowship

for sophomores in fraternities and sororities to foster discussions about Judaism with their peers.

In another program, the year-long Pincus Fellowship, Bolton guides a small cohort of students in discussions about what it means to be a Jewish person in the 21st

century.

Bolton said one of his main goals was to cultivate relationships with students through JRP. He described JRP as an experiment meant to create a space for students who are not compelled by ideas of belonging to

traditional Jewish institutions but who may be interested in “Jewish growth.”

“I never would have gotten involved with Penn Hillel in the first place had it not been for Rabbi Josh’s influence,” JRP member and College junior Levi Cooper said. “He makes it easy to ask questions. He makes it easy to discuss things that are on your mind in a way that I don’t know I would have been willing to do with anyone else.”

Bolton said Hillel professionals are able to operate in a unique space because they are not a student’s parents, professors, or friends.

“I’ve thought of myself as someone who can break down the barriers between students and what they expect Judaism to look like and feel like and who a rabbi can be,” Bolton said.

Bolton said he hopes to continue similar work with students at Brown.

“I’ve come to really identify with the students,” Bolton said.

“I’ve come to really identify with my colleagues on the student-life side of administration and the other student centers on campus.

This has been home for me.

There’s no doubt about that.”

really invested in at the Women’s Center,” Mertz said.

Her interest in combating sexual violence began even earlier. In college, Mertz said she was “driven to understand the culture of sexual violence” and to identify and help those harmed by it. This motivation has stayed with her ever since, as she continues to advocate for violence prevention on college campuses.

Over the past five years, she has overseen PVP’s Penn AntiViolence Education, a peer education group that aims to teach students how to be active bystanders and play a role in ending sexual and relationship violence on campus. Mertz also worked closely with student

groups and established the AntiViolence Engagement Network to bring students together in improving Penn’s culture regarding sexual assault prevention.

Mertz held different anti-violence positions at Penn before becoming PVP’s director. In 2010, she became associate director of the Penn Women’s Center and the chair of the Penn Violence Prevention Committee. She was involved in Title IX and sexual harassment working groups on campus, as well as Philadelphia’s Sexual Assault Advisory Council.

Other staff in PVP who have worked with Mertz over the years describe her as someone whose leadership commands the attention and respect of others.

“Her ability and willingness to listen and [her] empathetic leadership are the things that stand out to me about Jess.” said Malik Washington, the associate director of PVP. “Jess has a really unique ability to command a lot of respect in a room, but also at the same time make you feel incredibly welcome and heard,” said Sarah HahnDu Pont, a College junior doing her work-study at PVP. “That’s a really rare quality to have, and I think that’s why she’s so good at this work.

Hahn-Du Pont credits Mertz for PVP’s increased presence on campus.

“She’s constantly forward thinking about how to make not

only PVP more visible, but also more accessible to students.”

Hahn-Du Pont said. “She has helped lay the groundwork for building campus conversation around sexual violence in a way that hadn’t been done previously.”

Mertz said she wants her successor to have their own ideas and their own approach for what they think is important, but she hopes that the priority of PVP continues to be engaging marginalized students and student communities that are harder to reach.

Mertz is reluctant to label her work at Penn her “legacy,” since she says her work in violence prevention is far from over.

She sees her new position at the Clery Center as an opportunity to

apply what she’s learned from her experiences at Penn to make a difference on a larger scale on college campuses around the country.

At the Clery Center, Mertz will guide university administrators to comply with the Clery Act, a law requiring universities to disclose campus safety statistics. She will begin her new position at the Clery Center on May 13, according to a press release from the Center.

“What I hope to leave is that collaborative spirit of people still feeling that there needs to be community-based solutions.” Mertz said. “There needs to be people talking about it, problem solving, and not shying away from this difficult conversations and difficult problems.”

Rabbi Josh Bolton will depart from Penn at the end of the semester to serve as executive director of the Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design Hillel. Bolton, who serves as the director and senior Jewish educator of the Jewish Renaissance Project at Penn Hillel, has worked at the University for eight years.

On June 15, Bolton will begin his role at Brown RISD Hillel where he will manage Hillel activities for both schools, which share a Hillel center.

Hillel Co-president and Wharton senior Samantha Brooks said Bolton is “unexpected for a rabbi.”

“I definitely think [his] leaving is going to leave a little bit of a void in the community at Hillel.”

Brooks said, “I think people will definitely miss his compassion, his warmth, his energy. But I also think people are largely just really proud of Rabbi Josh.

He has built something from the ground up here at Penn.”

PVP was first established in 2014 as part of the year-long Commission on Student Safety, Alcohol, and Campus Life, whose goal was to increase the efforts to prevent sexual violence and to educate students about sexual violence and stalking.

Krone and Andrews end term leading student government Transparency measures fell short in some cases

lobbying the Vice Provost for University Life for increased funds for minority groups was a particularly meaningful accomplishment.

“Even before my tenure as vice president, I wanted to focus on increased resources for cultural centers, and this is one of the first years that we’ve seen tangible progress in recent memory,” Andrews said.

Community engagement was a theme for Krone and Andrews throughout the entire year, with

Krone calling the UA’s collaboration with Penn Leads the Vote to increase voter turnout among students during the midterm elections one of his proudest accomplishments.

Co-director for Penn Leads the Vote for the 2018-2019 academic year and College senior Nikki Lin said Krone was instrumental in linking the UA and Penn Leads the Vote with a variety of different student groups, including the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly,

Penn Democrats, and College Republicans. The groups collaborated to host campus-wide events for National Voter Registration Day last September and for the midterm elections in November.

The fact that voting at oncampus polling stations more than tripled from 2014’s midterm elections was evidence, Lin said, that the collaboration with the UA was a success.

In January, the UA narrowed its focus primarily to improving

transparency efforts. Krone and Andrews launched a tabling initiative on Locust Walk to solicit student feedback and also started posting video updates on the UA’s Facebook page. Andrews said these were important steps in making the UA more accessible for students.

Earlier this semester, the UA made a push to promote its open forum to Penn students, inviting them to attend and participate. Krone and Andrews said they were frustrated by the low

attendance at the meeting, which saw approximately seven Penn students who were not members of the UA attend. Krone said these projects could benefit from better advertising, but are nevertheless an important step in opening up the UA to students.

The UA’s efforts to integrate SEPTA access onto PennCards ultimately proved unsuccessful.

Andrews said although they anticipated the technology to work more seamlessly, there were ultimately technological roadblocks they could not overcome in their tenure.

Krone said he wanted to provide preloaded SEPTA cards to all freshman moving on campus — a goal he discussed shortly after being elected — and was disappointed he was not able to before his term ended.

Krone and Andrews say they are optimistic about future leadership on the UA. Newly elected UA President Natasha Menon and Vice President Brian Goldstein both served on the executive board this past year as treasurer and speaker, respectively.

Menon, a College junior, said she learned a lot from Krone and Andrews and she plans to continue some of their initiatives this coming year, including collaborations with the 6B and Penn Leads the Vote.

“Nothing’s ever going to get done entirely in a year,” Krone said. “But I think we were able to establish a lot of really great relationships with administrators and student groups and really think through how we’re going to get things done in the future.”

milestones, such as “turn on the light if you’ve met a professor that you look up to,” “turn on your light if you’ve joined a student group that has pushed you out of your comfort zone,” or “turn on your light if you’ve been to Wawa after 2 a.m.”

Some questions touched on issues of vulnerability and personal growth.

“Turn on your light if you’ve struggled to find a community during your time at Penn,” a Class Board member said.

“Turn on your light if you’re proud of how you’ve grown in the past two years,” another added.

“I really liked the part when they were asking about vulnerabilities,” Engineering sophomore Meghana Iyer said. “I think that’s very important to understand that everybody is vulnerable and everybody needs help occasionally” At the end of the ceremony, a Class Board member called on students to “turn on your light if you are officially a junior,” prompting cheers from the audience.

Many students said the lanternlighting ceremony was their favorite part of the event.

“I think we were all kind of scattered at first, but then when we all came and we started lighting stuff and cheering with our schools and figuring out where we connected, it was really cute,”

Nursing sophomore Stephanie Acquaye said.

“It’s a really cute tradition, [and] it’s fun that we get to be part of the first class to do it,” College sophomore Kelli Jackson said. “I think seeing the [questions] where everyone’s [lantern] was lit up was pretty cool.”

Class Board members said the event, which was attended by over a thousand sophomores, surpassed expectations. Class Board College Co-chair and College and Wharton sophomore Daniel Gordon said he hopes the event will grow in the future and become a major Penn tradition

like Hey Day. “When I saw the line wrapping all the way around Penn Commons, I could not believe the type of energy surrounding this event,” Youshaei said. “It just made me smile to see everyone back together. I haven’t seen the class like that since NSO.”

CONOR MURRAY Staff Reporter

College senior Michael Krone and College junior Jordan Andrews were elected the president and vice president of the Undergraduate Assembly last year on a five-point platform of transparency, accessibility, inclusivity, mental wellness, and community engagement. A year later, they are leaving their posts having focused most of their attention on transparency, but seeing the most change in their efforts to increase midterm election turnout and push for more funding for the 6B, Penn’s main minority coalition groups.

Throughout the past year, Krone and Andrews prioritized transparency initiatives like holding open forums and tabling on Locust Walk as well as community engagement, which they say is illustrated through their collaboration with Penn Leads the Vote to increase voter turnout and their collaboration with the 6B to increase its funding by approximately 400% this year.

Looking back, however, they say they regret falling short on their promise to increase SEPTA access to Penn students and were also disappointed by the lack of student interest in events they held to improve transparency.

“At the very least, we’re making the effort to try to get people in the know about what Penn student government is doing,” Krone said.

be Hey Day,” she said. “Time moves quickly, so let’s make every single moment count.”

Gutmann recalled that at Convocation, she asked members of the Class of 2021 to take selfies with people they did not know. At U-Night, she asked students to take selfies with people they did know but to leave space in the picture for new friends they would make over the next two years.

“Just as there is new room now in your selfies for new faces to come, there is so much more room for each and every one of you to grow in the next two years,” Gutmann said.

“You should celebrate not only who you have become, but who you will become.”

The speeches were followed by a lantern-lighting ceremony to demonstrate class unity. Class Board members alternated reading a series of questions asking students to turn on their lanterns for symbolic

May 2 @ 8pm May 3 @ 8pm May 4 @ 8pm May 5 @ 3pm We inhabitants of Western modernity are no strangers to verticality, from the architecture of our cities, to the "ladder(s) of success" we're expected to scale, to the incessant wakefulness required of us, postponing the horizontal pleasures of sleep. Bread and Puppet's "Diagonal Life" presents the diagonal as a promising mode for opposition to the dominating verticality of our civilization. Diagonal Life brings all the bewildering, beguiling, and downright funny possibilities and implications of diagonality to life with song, dance, magic, mechanism, and stunning cardboard and paper maché puppets painted in Peter Schumann's exuberant, slapdash expressionist style.

f you have a pulse and have spent any time on Penn’s campus in the last week, you have definitely begun to think about finals. Whether you are holed up writing page after page of a final paper or painstakingly reviewing slides and notes before an exam, stress levels on campus are high. The fact that Penn only allows a+ short turnaround period between the end of classes and the beginning of finals doesn’t help.

In order to promote student mental health and happiness as the semester wraps up, Penn should extend the Reading Day period for future semesters.

The ongoing conversation around mental health on campus runs much deeper than finals stress can adequately encapsulate. As Penn searches for the big solutions, though, it’s worth considering small things to improve students’ well-being as well.

The relentless grind of classes is taxing. It’s reasonable to expect students to need time to decompress from ten weeks of early-morning lectures, quizzes, discussion posts, and recitations, and a couple days is insufficient. Particularly considering the fact that students typically have more than one final exam and

that scheduling is done independently, it’s possible for students to have exams in quick succession.

There’s no way to decompress from the end of classes and adequately prepare for multiple exams in two days, but this is often what students are asked to do.

Time to relax isn’t the only way

that Reading Days can improve campus mental health. A major source of anxiety is the general feeling of being overwhelmed or underprepared that pervades campus during finals. Not only will more time to study improve student performance and learning outcomes, it’s another small tool in

the grand fight for improved mental health at Penn.

Students take exams all throughout the semester, so it’s reasonable to ask why there needs to be a special preparatory period when none is required for midterms. While finals are typically longer and cover more material than midterms,

there’s an even more insidious reason why this end-of-the-year period makes things tough on students.

Some professors schedule final midterms or assignments due on the final day of classes, even before Reading Days begin. Not only does this storm of papers and problem sets make it difficult to prepare for upcoming finals, exams held during this period are effectively finals with zero Reading Days, even fewer than the paltry two Penn does provide.

More Reading Days is a good eventual goal, but professors themselves could unilaterally improve the situation for students by moving the due date of such assignments to after Reading Days, rather than creating a perfect storm for students just as classes are ending.

This is not a particularly difficult problem for Penn to fix, either.

Harvard students get six to seven days off between the end of classes and final exams. Yale students get slightly less than a week. As much as The Daily Pennsylvanian Editorial Board believes our Quaker peers are the brightest in the Ivy League, we don’t think we’re that much smarter, and we’d appreciate some more time off.

I had the ability to move to Philadelphia, attend a prestigious school, and afford the costs of living due to my generous financial aid package. But the prospect and reality of paying for your own groceries, rent, tuition, and school necessities can pile atop a student’s shoulders rapidly. These costs are made more more manageable through Penn’s financial aid — only if students know how to take full advantage of it though.

Students should know of every advantage Penn’s financial aid offers in order to allow them the same access as Penn students not on financial aid.

Undergraduate cost of oncampus attendance is $78,186 for the 2019-2020 academic year.

Undergraduate cost of attendance for those living off campus is only slightly lower, weighing in at a crushing $76,444. Many financial aid packages come with a housing stipend, and if you choose to live off campus, you are reimbursed

Excluding the social ramifications of being surrounded by people who can simply afford more than you, it can be isolating and intimidating to ask for help or guidance when you feel like you’re the only charity case in need of asking for this help.

Penn needs to create better ways to advertise all of their services so that students know what opportunities are available for them. Even a simple email to highly funded students reminding us of certain possibilities would go a long way.

Though Penn President Amy Gutmann has expressed immense devotion to financial aid causes, raising over $4.3 billion dollars from 326,592 generous donors in the past year, I question if there is enough effort placed on how to wield this money once it is raised.

Acquiring funding for lower-income students to be able to attend Penn is a noble and important job, but these students need to know how they are being helped in order for this assistance to truly impact their college careers. For example, the textbooks for my first semester of college cost more than what I was paying for rent the summer before I started school.

Luckily for me, I knew to type in my Penn number to use my financial aid textbook allotment to pay for the costs.

It is unacceptable that students who display a need for help don’t know how to use this help. Resources need to be allocated to the distribution of information about financial aid once it is granted. This process needs to start early, so no senior — like my friend from work — looks back on their college experience and only sees the moments they could have enjoyed if not for the cost.

t’s odd how my sense of time seems to be warped at Penn. In the moment, minutes seem to drag out for hours. Days pass by at the speed of a three-toed sloth. Yet, when I look back, I begin to ask myself, “Where has the time gone?”

At Penn, students are often caught up in the moment — stressing over our next big assignment, worrying about an extracurricular commitment, or overthinking social interactions. We don’t allot time for ourselves to slow down and reap the benefits of self-reflection.

I recently finished my second round of midterms along with a huge paper, and I could no longer use my excuse of not having enough time. I began to carry out my approach to self-reflection that I had been planning to do since the beginning of the semester: building a time capsule.

Into a shoebox went my sketchbook from an art history course, a physical copy of my first column, ticket stubs from multiple movie nights, my first midterm, my 2018 planner, a random Penn-branded fidget spinner, and other trinkets I’ve collected over the year. I then wrote a letter to my senior-year self, delineating my current state and where I believe I’ll be in three

years. In this shoebox containing notes of my hopes and worries, fragments of my first year at Penn lie preserved and indestructible.

As each item spurred a walk down memory lane, I was forced to reflect and appreciate the passage of time — acts that Penn students should incorporate into their busy schedules.

My sketchbook reminded me of my exciting adventures to Philadelphia’s historic landmarks, but also countless sleepless nights due to procrastination. My first midterm and its score brought back emotions of frustration towards the grader. In reality, I should have studied more instead of only cramming a few days before the exam.

It’s easy to place blame on others for our own mishappenings. When we self-reflect, we grasp onto the courage to realize that what happens to us is a consequence of our own actions, and we have a choice to accept responsibility and grow from them.

Building my time capsule gave me a sense of awareness about the direction my life is taking and the direction I hope it will take. The process of reflecting was valuable in that it was a cognizant deliberation and analysis of my mentality and actions. It helped me break out of habit and identity my faults, my ways of responding to situations, and the methods I can take to improve my lifestyle. It also helped

raise self-acceptance as I pinpointed victories that I’ve achieved through hard work and compassion.

When it seems like buzzing forward is the only option, selfreflection allows us to breathe amidst the turbulence of being a Penn student. We can then unravel and process our thoughts and experiences and make sense of the enigmas that lie within us. When acting upon this newfound comprehension and reconciling the past, present, and future, we can buzz forward with more purpose, efficience, and self-awareness.

Especially as undergraduates, selfreflection is benefitial for us to gain a more established sense of identity that will prepare us for our years beyond college. The knowledge of who we are and how we want to impact society is just as important and useful for our future careers as the concepts and skills we learn in class.

That sunny day in late August when I excitedly began my life at Penn is ingrained in my memory, although I feel like I’ve evolved into a different person. We’ve all experienced some sort of development while at Penn, and it’s particularly rewarding to look back on our growth. And, even if you didn’t experience self-reflection

CHRISTY QIU while constructing the time capsule, you’ll inevitably experience it, years later, when you open the capsule.

Experiencing Penn only with a fast-paced mindset is living in oblivion — a state in which it’s difficult to recognize the miniscule triumphs that enliven us and the the small blunders that can pile up and result in burnout. It can also cause a disconnect between long-term and short-term goals and feelings of insufficiency as we don’t give ourselves enough credit for the accomplishments we’ve achieved along the way. Spare an hour or two before the school year ends to build your own time capsule. I hope you’ll be transported to a state of positive self-reflection, just as I was.

Should international students give up career or family?

How about neither.

FRESH TAKE | Perhaps it’s not a trade-off at all

W

ith August comes move-in. With November comes Family Weekend. With May comes graduation. Each of these events brings me a familiar sense of sadness and longing. On Locust Walk, I see brothers, but not mine. I see grandparents, but not mine. I see families, but not mine.

As a prospective student from New Zealand, I saw college in the United States as a place with more job titles than I could ever name, more lavish cities than I could ever know, and more opportunities than I could ever need. But if I pursued all this — would I ever live in the same country as my family again?

Just like American students, many international students think about life after graduation. Some of us picture ourselves among bright lights and corporate suites in New York City. Others dream about taking our creative visions to sunny California. And others know we can make our footprint at a non-profit in the influential world capital of Washington D.C. But unlike domestic students, this comes with an emotional, intangible trade-off: career or family?

Of course, our dreams stay firmly within the limits of our student visas. We do not come to the United States with the intention of staying and settling. But our visas

LUCY HU

FILE PHOTO allow us to stay and dabble in the U.S. workforce for a year after we graduate — teasing us with the possibility of a career here.

Logistical issues aside, American career trajectories are unsurprisingly the focus of Penn’s exorbitant rhetoric on success, leaving international students with the impression that finding a job

here is our gold standard. Even if we were committed to returning to our families after graduating, oncampus recruiting tries to convince us that our talents will only reach their full potential in this country.

Guest speakers show us what can be accomplished in the star-spangled land. Conversations on Locust about summer plans bolster the idea

American career trajectories are unsurprisingly the focus of Penn’s exorbitant rhetoric on success, leaving international students with the impression that finding a job here is our gold standard.”

in our minds that in order to succeed, we must stay.

We cannot escape the American dream.

Appealing to our desire for world-class success, it all sounds too attractive. We, too, want to be where we can make our biggest impact. But, visa considerations aside, if we want to chase our dreams, we must pay a steep price.

We give up hugging our grandparents on their birthdays, giving our younger sisters college advice over frozen yogurt, and watching our parents grow old.

I will always have to choose between pursuing my passions in the United States of America and being with my family. If I choose one, I

can’t have the other.

Confronted with this puzzle for the first time during freshman year, I became jealous of my friends from New York. They can have the world’s best jobs and they don’t have to worry about never seeing their families again, I thought.

But, after almost three years of contemplating this conundrum, I have realized that I do not in fact face a trade-off, but rather an opportunity most people are never granted: the chance to make one of these really count.

If I move home to be with my family, I actively choose to maximize the value of quality time with those that I love. But, I’m not giving up a successful career: success does

not follow one traditional American trajectory. Even if we choose to return home, we’ve already had the best of both worlds: a Penn education and the chance to use it for maximum impact in our home countries. I’m not giving up an American career either — how can I give up something I never had?

Alternatively, some international students remain in the United States.

Under this decision, they actively choose to maximize their career options, trying to make an impact on the world with all the resources America has to offer. But they will know more than anyone about the value of family. They don’t give up family — to the contrary, their love for family is multiplied. When reunions do happen, the new value of gained time makes up for all time spent apart.

Wherever you choose to be, the opportunity to make this decision as an international student is a privilege that highlights to us the choice we have to maximize in our lives what is important to us.

It’s not about giving something up — it’s about choosing to make something count.

Hey Day starting point will move to 39th and Locust High rise field construction forced the move CONOR MURRAY Staff Reporter

For 103 years, rising seniors have taken part in Hey Day to commemorate their ascension to senior year. In recent years, the rising seniors have traditionally gathered at high rise field on 40th and Locust streets.

Although the field is now closed off for the construction of New College House West, Penn’s record-breaking $163 million new dorm, Class Board leaders say it will not affect the longstanding tradition.

Hey Day is the Penn tradition that symbolizes the transition from junior to senior year. This year, all rising seniors will gather on the field located at 39th and Locust streets, near Rodin College House and the Hillel building, 2020 Class Board President and Wharton and Engineering junior Karim El Sewedy said.

El Sewedy added that all other logistics will remain the same.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 2. The Class of 2020 will gather on the field at 39th and Locust streets, where food will be offered for the entire class. The Class Board will then

not an easy task. Penn Museum Special Projects Manager Bob Thurlow said the Museum has been working since the fall with engineers from several teams around the country to plan the move. Museum officials and engineers have conducted 3D scans of the Sphinx to measure its height, volume, and density and to get an accurate estimate of its weight.

Chief Building Engineer Brian Houghton added that the move itself will take about four hours as the Sphinx is transported on a ramp from the Egyptian Hwall to the renovated Main Entrance Hall.

Thurlow said when the Sphinx was originally brought

to the Egypt Gallery, it entered through a side of the building that has now been blocked. Because of this, Houghton said, the team now has to remove windows and doors to create a space for the Sphinx to travel through.

Houghton said the team has already removed one window and a doorway from the Egypt Gallery and is beginning to remove the window and brickwork of the main entrance hall.

Houghton added that the team faced challenges when it discovered the historic Penn Museum building does not match its blueprints.

“It’s an old building and things just don’t match up to the old drawings,” he said. “That has been an Achilles heel.”

Thurlow added that unpredictable weather such as rain

could potentially delay the move.

Siggers said the Sphinx’s historical significance makes it a good choice for the entrance of the renovated museum. The Sphinx of Ramses II was excavated by W.M. Flinders Petrie, an archaeologist at the British School of Archaeology, according to the Penn Museum website. The British School gave the Sphinx to the Penn Museum to thank the University for its financial support, and the monument traveled 6,000 miles from Memphis, Egypt to Philadelphia.

“We’ve always had this big commitment to the public,” Siggers said. “I think when you come into this new space, it’s going to be more evident that we are going to be a welcoming, public-facing museum.”

Hey Day is a 103-year tradition that marks the transition of the junior class to seniors. In recent years, it began at high rise field.

lead the procession down Locust Walk to College Green, where Penn President Amy Gutmann will declare the Class of 2020 to be seniors.

Undergraduate Assembly President and College junior Natasha Menon said the uncertainty surrounding Hey Day’s starting location was a point of confusion when she was allocating money to the Class Boards earlier this year as UA Treasurer.

“I didn’t know if I needed to increase the budget for Hey Day, because I didn’t know if the construction would affect anything,” Menon said.

The UA president said she spoke with the Office of Student

Affairs, who said New College House West construction would not impact the amount of funds required for the event.

T he a n nou nc ement of NCHW’s construction was met with skepticism from students who said it would mean the disappearance of another green space on Penn’s campus. The dorm is scheduled to open in fall 2021.

El Sewedy said Class Board 2020 was focused on maintaining the tradition of Hey Day despite the construction.

“We wanted to make sure the tradition was the same that it’s been since 1916,” El Sewedy said.

Penn researchers find a city pilot program could curb opioid use ANNA DUAN Staff Reporter

Penn researchers found that a Philadelphia pilot program shows potential for mitigating homelessness and the opioid epidemic.

Dennis Culhane, a professor in the School of Social Policy & Practice, and David Metzger, a psychiatry professor in the Perelman School of Medicine, led a study of the Encampment Resolution Pilot, an eight-month long initiative to close homeless encampments and offer social services to evicted residents.

The city’s ERP program closed two of the four major homeless encampments in Kensington, a neighborhood with high rates of opioid use, according to the report.

The ERP report, released in March, analyzed the planning process, the implementation process, and ongoing citywide efforts to serve those displaced from the encampments. The team of five Penn researchers used interviews and surveys to track the outcomes of individuals removed from the two encampments in spring 2018. At the end of January, all four encampments in Kensington were cleared.

Culhane said getting people into long-term housing remains a big challenge for the city. Still, Culhane said the project was a necessary first step.

Between 2015 and 2017, drug overdoses killed 2,826 people in Philadelphia. And with homelessness and opioid overdose rates in Kensington both on the rise, Mayor Jim Kenney declared a state of emergency in the Kensington neighborhood in October

The program closed homeless encampments

2018.

In their report, the researchers highlighted a key priority of the pilot as increasing access to public services for those evicted from the targeted encampments, where mainly native Philadelphians lived. Liz Hersh, director of the Philadelphia’s Office of Homeless Services, said in the month before the closures on May 2018, people living in the encampments were frequently offered resources like on-site medical aid for opioid addiction and spots in city shelters.

These services were offered without requiring ID or drug tests, Hersh said.

A major and complex part of ERP was relocating people who were targeted by the program.

Some went to private recovery houses, while others entered public shelters.

For now, Hersh said the pilot

program presents the most favorable model for cities dealing with similar issues.

“We have an epidemic on our hands,” she said. “We’re doing everything we can think of to keep people alive.”

Responding to arguments against encampment clearings, including the displacement of communities, Culhane said the encampments are “an unhealthy communal adaptation to a failed system.”

Culhane, who has studied homelessness since the 1980s, said he believes we have the tools necessary to end homelessness.

“Homelessness represents a really unique vulnerability,” Culhane said. “We’re such a wealthy and rich society, we’re such a smart society. We shouldn’t have people who are destitute.”

Penn profs call for ban on controversial gene editing research Penn profs. co-sign a letter for genetic manipulation JASON YAN Staff Reporter

Four professors from the Perelman School of Medicine co-signed an open letter calling for a temporary ban on embryonic genetic manipulation around the world. This follows controversial embryonic research released by Chinese researcher He Jiankui in November 2018, in which he claimed to have made the world’s first gene-edited babies.

In the letter, more than 60 gene therapy and genome editing experts expressed their concerns over He’s human embryo editing experiment and urged the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to advocate for a global ban on germline gene editing. The Penn professors said they signed the letter because of the dangers of this research, adding that it is too early to know what the risks are.

He’s research involved using CRISPR gene editing technology to disable a gene in twin female embryos so the girls would be resistant to HIV, and it is believed to be the first use of CRISPR resulting in a live human birth. Medicine professor Kiran Musunuru, who cosigned the letter on April 24, said He’s research was “poorly done� in a scientific sense and that germline editing research should not continue until scien-

Women’s lacrosse travels to New York with title on the line

Quakers put perfect conference record to test in Ivy Tournament

Quakers have never missed the Tournament in 10 tries

M. LAX | Penn will take on Dartmouth in semifinals

BREVIN FLEISCHER Senior Sports Reporter

TEIA ROSS Sports Reporter

Like clockwork.

For the 10th time in 10 tries, Penn women’s lacrosse will be playing in the Ivy League Tournament, this time taking on a Dartmouth squad that got the better of the Quakers earlier this season.

The Red and Blue (11-4, 5-2 Ivy) are the No. 3 seed in the Tournament after beating Columbia and Harvard in back-toback games to end the regular season. Their opponents, the Big Green (11-4, 6-1), are the No. 2 seed.

On the other side of the bracket, top-seeded Princeton will play Cornell, with the winners of each Friday semifinal game meeting on Sunday in the championship game. For the first time in the Tournament’s history, all of the games will be hosted by Columbia in New York City.

The first meeting between Penn and Dartmouth this year resulted in a 15-11 victory for the Big Green in which the Quakers held a two-goal lead at halftime before struggling against a stifling Dartmouth defense. But the Red and Blue are certainly hopeful for a different result this time around and will seek to use information from the last game to their advantage.

The Quakers, according to coach Karin Corbett, have focused on fine-tuning their defense, replicating their success at the draw, and, above all, finishing their opportunities.

“We have to shoot better,” Corbett said. “They play a great zone, so we need to be able to catch and finish on the inside. We really need to be

For Penn men’s lacrosse, it isn’t lonely at the top.

The regular season Ivy champion Quakers (9-3, 6-0 Ivy) will look to cement their status as the best team in the conference at the Ivy League Tournament this weekend.

Three of the top-10 teams in the country are competing in the Tournament, and despite its tripleovertime win against Yale (11-2, 5-1) a month ago, No. 3 Penn sits right behind the No. 2 Bulldogs in the national polls. Cornell (10-4, 4-2), also having a successful season, is ranked No. 9.

However, the Ivy teams won’t be thinking about the national rankings as they face off at a neutral site at Columbia.

The No. 1-seeded Quakers will compete against No. 4 Brown at 6 p.m. on Friday, with Yale and Cornell to follow. The championship game between the two winners will occur at 12 p.m. on Friday. Here’s a breakdown of how Penn matches up with the other three teams.

Penn vs. Brown When Penn and Brown (7-8, 3-3 Ivy) played earlier in the season, the Quakers took down the

Senior defender Katy Junior was named to the first team All-Ivy list, which is the third time in her career that she has been an honoree.

shooting a lot better than we have these last few games.”

Aiding the Quakers in their efforts this weekend will be their significant Tournament experience. Only the top four teams in the League earn a bid to the Ivy Tournament, and Penn is the only program to have earned a bid in each year of the event’s existence. As a result, both the players and the coaching staff know what it takes to win on the biggest of stages.

“Having the experience makes it that much easier to know what a Friday-Sunday looks like and to be ready for that type of turnaround,” senior defender and captain Katy Junior said. “Some teams haven’t experienced that.”

Not only is Junior cognizant of the fact that many teams haven’t played two games in a single weekend, but she also recognizes that these Tournament games are a privilege and that they should be treated as such.

“Something that we’re trying to focus on is how lucky we are to be playing here,” Junior said. “I have a little sister whose season ended a week

ago, so we’re trying to remind people how fortunate we are to still be playing. A lot of teams’ seasons ended last week or even two weeks ago, so we don’t feel like we’re entitled to have these games coming up. We’re grateful, and we’re proud of ourselves for working hard enough to give ourselves this opportunity.”

That hard work has manifested itself in the Quakers’ inclusion in the Tournament field as well as in individual postseason accolades.

Junior Erin Barry earned Ivy League Midfielder of the Year honors and, along with fellow junior Gabby Rosenzweig, was a unanimous first team All-Ivy selection. Joining Barry and Rosenzweig on the first team were Junior and sophomore Zoe Belodeau.

Additionally, sophomore Abby Bosco and juniors Chelsea Kibler and Mikaila Cheeseman were named second team All-Ivy, while freshman Michaela McMahon earned honorable mention recognition.

With that plethora of talent up and down the roster, Penn is no typical No. 3 seed.

Bears, 16-9. Junior midfielder George Grell led Brown in points with two goals and two assists. In comparison, Penn junior attackman Adam Goldner had seven points on the day, followed by freshman midfielder Sam Handley, the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, with six points. Penn’s offense will have to keep shooting around Brown junior goalie Phil Goss, who has a 50% save percentage on the season.

In the last Penn-Brown matchup, junior faceoff specialist Kyle Gallagher won 16 of his 26 faceoffs before being relieved by senior Richie Lenskold.

“Obviously, the faceoff has been a pretty big key for us, gaining Gallagher at the X, but beyond that, just kind of executing the game plan that we’ve put together this week,” senior attackman and captain Simon Mathias said.

“We know what we have to do to beat a very good Brown team, and then hopefully if we execute what we’ve planned to do, then we’ll be playing for an Ivy League Championship,” Mathias continued.

Penn vs. Yale Previously this season, the Quakers beat the defending national champions in a nail-biting contest. In triple overtime, Handley fired home the winning goal.

Yale is led by junior TD Ierlan, whose 79% faceoff win percentage leads the country. Gallagher,

SON NGUYEN

Junior faceoff specialist Kyle Gallagher has won more than 63 percent of his faceoffs this season, which currently puts him 11th in the nation.

at 64%, is ranked No. 11 nationally. Both faceoff specialists are in their first season in the Ivy League, with Ierlan spending two years at Albany and Gallagher playing at Hofstra for two seasons.

Junior attackermen Jackson Morrill and Matt Gaudet, the only two players on the team with over 30 goals, will be Yale’s most potent scoring threats.

Penn vs. Cornell If Penn gets through to the championship game and Cornell overtakes Yale, the Quakers will take on the Big Red for the second time this year. The score of their regular season game fell in favor of Penn by a single goal at 16-15.

Cornell’s statistics on the year are more spread out than Penn’s or Yale’s. Junior attackman Jeff Teat, senior attackman Clarke Petterson, and sophomore attackman John Piatello have over 40 goals and 60 points on the season. However, the Big Red’s starting faceoff specialist has an under 50% win percentage. If a Penn-Cornell championship is in the cards, the faceoff could be a key factor for a Penn win.

Penn hopes to continue its ninegame win streak this weekend and into the NCAA Tournament as well.

“We’ve put together a nice string of wins, and so each week we’ve just been trying to improve on most facets of our game, whether that be defense, offense, faceoffs, and the net,” Mathias said.

Cornell won last year’s Tournament against Yale after the Bulldogs thrashed the Quakers in the first round. The previous three editions were taken by Yale, with Penn last winning it all in 2014.

For Mathias, winning the Ivy Tournament means more than just a trophy. “[Winning] would give an opportunity for this team to stay pretty close five, 10, 15 years down the line, and I think that’s why you do all this stuff.”

RACHEL LEE WILSON

BEST RECORD-BREAKING PERFORMANCE You can try to put boundaries on senior Rachel Lee Wilson, but you should know that there may be no limit to her throwing abilities.

Wilson has been phenomenal for Penn women’s track week in and week out, breaking her own personal records to set a new program record almost every weekend.

The senior began breaking records in the very first event of the 2018-19 indoor season, setting a program record with a 20.04 meter weight throw. Wilson won seven out of nine weight throw events in the indoor season, including an individual Ivy Heps title that helped propel Penn to an overall team win. She bested the weight throw program record one last

time with a 20.22m throw at the Texas Tech Invitational.

Wilson also asserted her dominance in the hammer throw in her very first meet outside, shattering the program record with a toss of 63.21m at the Penn Challenge.

Wilson has won three hammer throw events in the spring season, besting her

personal record to set another program record with a 63.89m toss at the Sam Howell Invitational.

With Outdoor Heps and NCAAs around the corner, no program record is too safe as long as Wilson is around.

BASEBALL’S 21-INNING WIN VS. DARTMOUTH Penn baseball’s April 6 win over Dartmouth saw 21 innings, 36 runs, and 55 hits over the course of six hours, earning the game a place in the record books.

The final score of 21-15 does not reveal how close the game was throughout. A grand slam by freshman left fielder Craig Larsen in the eighth inning seemed to put the game away

for the Quakers, as they went up by a score of 10-6.

Larsen’s home run would help him hit for the cycle, becoming the first Penn player to do so since 2000.

Dartmouth came back to tie the game at 10, however, where the two teams remained deadlocked until the 13th inning. Penn plated three runs highlighted by a two-run triple from

senior catcher Matt O’Neill, but that was followed by three runs from Dartmouth in the bottom of the inning.

In the 21st inning, the Quakers tallied nine hits and eight runs, which proved to be the final say in the backand-forth affair.

DUNN’S LAST-SECOND GOAL VS. YALE CHASE SUTTON

NICOLE FRIEDLING

In what ended up being arguably the most important game of the season, Penn men’s lacrosse advanced into overtime against Yale off a goal by senior midfielder Tyler Dunn.

Dunn has had an impressive career at Penn to say the least. He has scored over 55 goals and has been named honorable mention All-Ivy two years in a row.

His performance against Yale contributed to Penn’s

in the final minute, but the Quakers were able to respond and extend their lead each time.

And despite a last-second scare that gave the Wildcats a chance to tie, Penn ultimately did just enough to earn its second victory en route to a Big 5 title and send its fans into madness on the court.

With the departure of Darnell Foreman, Penn men’s basketball entered the 2018-19 season with a hole to fill at point guard.

En route to earning a selection to the All-Ivy second team, junior Devon Goodman not only filled that hole, but he probably covered a few others after fellow junior Ryan Betley, who led the 2017-18 team in scoring, went down with a season-ending injury in the Quakers’ first game of the year.

In his first season as a starter, Goodman took the reins of the team and never looked back, averaging an Ivy League-leading 37.6 minutes per game. He started 30 of 31 games — his only appearance off the bench came due to senior night — and averaged 13.9 points per game, a marked improvement upon his previous career high of 4.3.

In addition to his increased scoring output, which featured 37.5 percent three-point shooting after shooting 25 percent from deep the year before, Goodman grabbed 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Perhaps his greatest impact, however, was felt on the defensive end of the floor, where the junior forced two steals per contest in League play.

Ivy League title and No. 3 national ranking.

Against the Bulldogs, who are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, the Quakers were down by one goal with two minutes left in regulation play. Yale had just scored, making the score 12-11, and junior TD Ierlan won the ensuing faceoff for the Elis.

However, Dunn was able to recover the ball and transition the play back down into Yale’s zone. With four seconds left in the game, sophomore attackman Sean Lulley passed the ball to Dunn, who geared up to shoot, sending the ball into the cage as time expired.

By the end of triple overtime, Penn had won.

Though the Quakers wouldn’t become Ivy League champions until after their defeat of Harvard, beating Yale was a integral part of their season, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Dunn.

MEN’S BASKETBALL VS. VILLANOVA There’s nothing quite as special as sprinting onto the Palestra floor with your classmates as the buzzer sounds.

That’s what an army of Red and Blue fans did after Penn men’s basketball upset No. 17 Villanova by a 78-75 score, the team’s first win over the Wildcats since 2002.

Both teams came into the Big 5 contest hot, winning a combined 10 games prior to facing off on Dec. 11, but Penn was still considered the underdog by a wide margin.

After the Quakers energized their home crowd by racing out to a quick 14-2 lead, Villanova charged back to claim a 17-16 advantage. The game would remain tight for the rest of the night, but that was the only moment the Wildcats ever claimed the lead.

Expectations were low for Penn women’s basketball at the start of the year.

They lost three of their five starters from last year’s Ivy League runner-up squad and needed some of their role players to step up.

Enter Princess Aghayere.

After averaging the most bench minutes of anyone on the 2017-18 team, the senior forward became a starter for the first time in her Penn career this season and thrived as a member of the starting five. She helped ease the loss of Michelle Nwokedi with consistent offense and tough defense to round out a competitive Penn team that finished with a share of the Ivy League title.

Aghayere averaged 12.0 points per game — and 14.4 points per game in Ivy play — which was good for second on the team. Against Cornell, she led the team with a 23-point, 10-rebound performance, and she played a career-high 48 minutes against Harvard, showing her resilience and durability as a player.

She was a weapon for the Quakers on offense,

BEST CHAMPIONSHIP PERFORMANCE (TEAM) It’s been a while since Penn women’s track wasn’t at the top of the Ivy League. The Quakers swept the Indoor and Outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships in 2018 and repeated as Indoor champions earlier this year.

The team’s performance at the Indoor Heps was another dominant showing. The Red and Blue totaled 136 points, blowing away runner-up

Harvard’s score of 102. Penn took first place behind several individual championship performances in both track and field events.

Junior Cecil Ene, sophomore Melissa Tanaka, and junior Nia Akins ran away with victories in the 200-meter, 800, and 1000, respectively. Ene and Tanaka were the first Quakers to win those events since 2008, and Akins was

named the Most Outstanding Indoor Track Performer of the weekend. The 4x440-yard and 4x880 relay teams also took first place with times of 3:43.68 and 8:52.10, respectively.

Penn didn’t just win it on the track, however — three athletes took the top spot in their respective field events.

Senior Anna Peyton Malizia won the high jump for the second straight year,

NIA AKINS

WOMEN’S TRACK (INDOOR) while junior Maura Kimmel took the top prize in the shot put. Senior Rachel Lee Wilson placed first in the weight throw, and by the end of the weekend, the Red and Blue had won eight events.

BEST CHAMPIONSHIP PERFORMANCE (INDIV)

CHASE SUTTON

It was undeniably a great year for the Quakers in individual championships, but no one was quite as dominant as Nia Akins.

The junior impressed throughout the season, breaking a long-lasting program record in the 800-meters in January.

However, that wasn’t enough for

Akins. After adding another win in the 1000 at Indoor Heps, which led the team to its first back-to-back title in 30 years, she nearly won it all at the NCAA Championships. With an impressive time of 2:03.74, Akins set a new school and personal record and finished second in the 800, only .05 seconds away from the national title.

Only a few weeks after her memorable performance at the NCAAs, she added another accolade to her list.

At the 125th Penn Relays, the junior was part of a relay team that won the College Women’s Distance Medley Championship of America Invitational — a first for any Ancient Eight women’s team — and was the first

Quaker to ever be recognized as the Women’s College Relay Athlete of the Meet.

2019 was undoubtedly Akins’ best year yet, and with one season left at Penn, she still hopes to collect more titles — and maybe even a spot in the 2020 Olympics.

eleah PARKER Coming into the season Eleah Parker knew she had big shoes to fill.

After leading scorer and defensive anchor Michelle Nwokedi graduated, many expected women’s basketball to take a step back this season. Instead, Parker stepped into the spotlight and helped the Quakers to a share of the regular season Ivy League title.

Parker led the Quakers on both ends of the floor, taking advantage of her size and skill in the post to lead the team with 15.1 points per game, a total that was also good for fifth in the Ivy League.

Despite her offensive success, Parker’s true prowess came on the defensive end.

Parker served as the centerpiece of the nation’s eighth best scoring defense, averaging 3.19 blocks per game, the third-highest aver-

BRODEUR In an up-and-down season for Penn men’s basketball, AJ Brodeur was a constant presence.

The junior forward was just one of two players to start for the Quakers in each of the 31 games played in the 2018-19 season. More than that, though, Brodeur significantly impacted play every time he stepped on the court.

In Penn’s four-game Big 5 sweep, which gave the team its first title in 17 years, he averaged 17.3 points and never scored fewer than 16. During the Red and Blue’s less consistent Ivy League schedule, Brodeur recorded six double-doubles and played for over 30 minutes in all but one game.

age in the country. Parker’s 99 blocks during the season tied her with Sydney Stipanovich for the highest single season block total in Penn’s history.

Parker had her fair share of dominant performances, recording 11 double-doubles and scoring over 20 points six different times.

However, her signature performance came in the penultimate Ivy game of the year, against Yale. The sophomore scored a career high 29 points, hauling in 16 rebounds and blocking four shots in Penn’s 65-56 win.

Already one of the most dominant players in Penn history, Parker still has two seasons to add to her ever growing legacy and lead the Red and Blue back to the NCAA tournament.

BEST TEAM

All in all, the junior was a dominant force for the Quakers, leading the team in points, rebounds, blocks, assists, and field-goal percentage. He helped lead the Red and Blue to the Ivy League Tournament with wins in their last three games of the regular season and almost carried them to the finals with 25 points and 10 rebounds in a losing effort against Harvard.

At the end of conference play, Brodeur was named unanimous first team All-Ivy for the second consecutive year. With his senior season still to play, it would surprise no one if he repeated that feat once again.

MEN’S LACROSSE Many Penn programs saw success this year, but no team has been as competitive nationally as men’s lacrosse.

Coming into the season, few would have picked the Quakers to win the Ivy League. The team was trying to figure out who would fill the role that midfielder and all-time great Connor Keating had filled for years. In addition, they hadn’t won a conference championship since 1988.

But that didn’t matter.

After dropping their first three games, the Quakers finished the regular season on a nine-game winning streak, achiev-

ing an unblemished 6-0 League record with wins against No. 2 Yale and No. 8 Cornell.

One of the driving factors for the Quakers’ success this season has been an offensive explosion. The team currently ranks No. 3 in the nation in scoring offense, led by junior attackman Adam Goldner, who broke the Penn record for most goals in a season with 46 and counting.

The Quakers’ magical run is not over quite yet, as they have the Ivy League and NCAA Tournaments coming up.

BEST MOMENT

BEST COACH MIKE MCLAUGHLIN

MEN’S BASKETBALL WINS THE BIG 5 The city of Philadelphia has a unique love for basketball as demonstrated by the Big 5, an annual competition between local teams Saint Joseph’s, La Salle, Temple, Villanova, and Penn. For this first time since 2002, Penn men’s basketball won by sweeping its four local foes.

It’s safe to say that even after an Ivy League championship campaign and a valiant showing in the NCAA tournament a year ago, nobody was picking the Quakers to defeat Villanova, the defending national champ, or even Temple, a perennial contender in the Big Dance.

Once Villanova’s last-gasp corner three fell short and fans stormed the Palestra floor, it felt like this would finally be the Quakers’ year.

The Wildcats were ranked No. 17 in the nation at the time and it would be Penn’s most impressive victory all season.

In their next Big 5 contest, junior Kuba Mijakowski led the Quakers to victory over Temple in former Penn coach Fran Dunphy’s final game against his old team. This win secured at least a share of the Big 5 title, but the Red and Blue wanted the trophy all to themselves.

They would do just that exactly one week later with a win over St. Joseph’s at the Palestra, a win and a season that won’t be soon forgotten.

BEST MALE ROOKIE

Remaining near the top of the conference after losing two of the best players in school history is not a common feat — but that’s exactly what coach Mike McLaughlin and Penn women’s basketball did this season.

After star seniors Anna Ross and Michelle Nwokedi graduated in 2018, there was a great deal of uncertainty regarding how the Quakers would fare in the 2018-19 season. Many questions were answered, though, when the team got off to an 8-2 start in non-conference play and knocked off rival Princeton to open the Ivy League season.

As the season progressed, McLaughlin’s Quakers cemented themselves as one of the best

Coach Roger Reina is famous for his ability to bring the best in high school talent to Penn wrestling. Nobody is a better example of that than rookie Anthony Artalona, who in his first season with the Quakers quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most formidable freshmen in the country.

Artalona kicked off his inaugural season

defenses not only in the Ancient Eight, but in the entire nation. They ranked first in the conference and eighth in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 54.4 points per game.

McLaughlin led Penn to yet another regular season Ivy title, which was shared with Princeton after each team went 12-2 in conference play. The Red and Blue finished the season with 24 wins, tied for the most in program history.

As a result of another impressive season, McLaughlin was named the Ivy League and Big 5 Coach of the Year. It is the third time he has earned that honor from the Ivy League, and the fourth time he has won the Big 5 award.

YULIA BRYZGALOVA with a bang, winning the 149-pound division at the Michigan State Open on Nov. 3. He never looked back from there, earning a team-high 28 wins and five pins on the year.

Among a season of accolades, his most noteworthy accomplishment was arguably capturing a title at the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships on March 9.

The Seffner, Fla. native was perfect throughout the tournament, putting up a 4-0 record to become Penn’s first freshman EIWA champ since 2006. Artalona’s dominant performance punched him a ticket to the NCAA Championships along with fellow rookie Carmen Ferrante.

On the national stage, Artalona would reach the Round of 12 at 149 pounds, posting a respectable 3-2 record among the nation’s best.

After a record-breaking first season for the Quakers, the rookie shows more than a modest amount of promise for his years to come on the mat.

Only five athletes in Ivy League women’s tennis history have won both Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.

Yulia Bryzgalova is one of them.

In her first season with the Quakers, Bryzgalova held a 13-2 singles record in the fall and a 15-1 record in the spring. In Ivy League play, she didn’t drop a single set for an undefeated 5-0 finish.

Her dominance extended to the doubles court, posting an impressive 16-1 record with senior and DP staff member OJ Singh.

Bryzgalova came to Penn with no shortage of experience, having achieved great success on the doubles circuit in Russia. At 21 years old, she moved to the United States with four national championships already under her belt.

Bryzgalova’s dominance was instrumental in the Quakers’ best conference finish since

2007, as the Red and Blue took second place in the Ivy League behind Princeton.

Bryzgalova might have been a rookie by college standards, but her freshman year contributions to Penn tennis were anything but. She will certainly be a name to look out for in her next three years with the Red and Blue.
