Finance and mental health: it’s complicated Despite employee deaths, finance remains popular Penn major

ELLIE SCHROEDER Deputy News Editor

A quarter of 2014 Penn graduates took jobs in finance despite renewed concerns about mental health due to employee deaths in the industry.

After the June suicide of Sarvshreshth Gupta, a 2014 Penn graduate and Goldman Sachs analyst, a media firestorm raised questions about the issue of stress in the finance industry, especially among young workers.

Gupta’s death was not the first. After the 2013 death of a 21-year-old Bank of America SEE FINANCE PAGE 6

The Penn Coffee Club, a recreational organization on campus, holds events to teach members coffee brewing techniques and allows members to taste different coffees.

Coffee Club unites campus coffee lovers MICHAELA PALMER Contributing Reporter

… regardless of who is elected next week, there is still a lot of work to be done in Philadelphia … “ — The Daily Pennsylvanian

For some students, a love of caffeine is actually an extra-curricular activity.

Penn’s Coffee Club is a Wharton graduate student organization that gives students the opportunity to bond over their shared love of coffee. Started three years ago, the club now has over 60 members and a three-person board.

The Coffee Club’s main draw is its coffee-centric events, which are hosted several times throughout the year. Recently, the club co-sponsored a coffee and dessert night with the Wharton Food Club and hosted a coffee and chocolate night last year. The club also gives its members free coffee during midterms and finals, setting up shop in a Huntsman group study room.

One of the club’s popular events is a Philadelphia “coffee crawl,” in which members go together to a number of different coffee shops

in Center City. The shops they visit are “off the beaten path or shops members haven’t heard of,” club co-president and MBA student Emily Clayton said. The club board hopes to help broaden members’ knowledge about coffee and enable them to try new varieties.

The Coffee Club’s other copresident, MBA student Yuji Ogawa, also emphasized that the club wants to “educate [its] members about coffee.” To this end, the club organizes “coffee cupping” events, with coffee shops around campus. At a coffee cupping event,

members learn about the origins of different types of coffee and try to identify differences in taste.

Ogawa also enjoys showing other members different methods of brewing coffee and plans to host an event to teach members how to use different brewing techniques and coffee makers.

Though primarily a social organization, many members of the club are interested in the coffee, agriculture or food industries.

Fewer thefts are due to an increase in security measures ANNA HESS Staff Reporter

KONHEE CHANG/DP SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Drastic decreases in thefts are being attributed to education, technology, and an increase in student alertness.

FOLLOW US @DAILYPENN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES

Thefts and burglaries are down 37 percent in 2015 compared to last year, according to the Division of Public Safety.

Nine hundred and fifty-three burglaries and thefts were reported to the Penn Police in the 2014 calendar year, from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, and there have been just 696 reports in the same time period in 2015.

Thefts from buildings on campus have seen the most significant drop, coming down 41 counts in 2015.

Vice President for Public Safety

Maureen Rush credits the drop to the creation of the Operation Building Safe project, a public safety endeavor to secure the perimeter doors of on-campus buildings and monitor who can enter freely at what times.

Through the project, DPS identified visitor entrances and placed security officers, civilian concierges and virtual concierge systems run by DPS or visitor management systems at those entrances.

Rush said that the process of making visitors identify themselves discourages perpetrators from committing thefts. DPS has also held security fairs and education SEE THEFT PAGE 2

New Penn Abroad director embraces change Nigel Cossar arrives from Australia, talks expansion JESSICA MCDOWELL Abroad Reporter

“Tell me about France!” Nigel Cossar exclaims from the other end of a Skype call, his Australian accent immediately apparent. The newly appointed Director of Penn Abroad, Cossar is a cool mixture of comfortable warmth and persistent drive — his enthusiasm for his new appointment is evident as he asks me about my study abroad program in Paris.

Cossar moved to Philadelphia this fall, just days before his position at Penn Abroad started on Oct. 1. While the last few weeks have been a whirlwind for him, he said that he began the interview process for the job in May. “I came here solo, but really the ability to work at an institution at Penn, with all the resources and

programs.

“These efforts have made our community much more aware and alert, and they are taking care of their property more securely,” Rush said. The new contactless swipe-in entrances in buildings such as the Penn Veterinary School, Annenberg and Van Pelt have helped to further secure and streamline the entrance process.

connections of the university and with all the potentially there is here; it was really just icing on the cake,” Cossar said.

Cossar comes to Penn from the University of Melbourne, where he served as the director of study abroad programs for seven years.

Though he spent most of that time in Australia, he has spent the last year working on the University of Melbourne’s global development initiatives in Washington, D.C. While at the University of Melbourne, he increased student participation in study abroad programs from 300 per year to 3,000, out of the university’s almost 45,000 students. This trend is something Cossar said he would like to bring to Penn as well.

“That’s the kind of student excitement and participation that I’d really like to see applied to the Penn community,” he said.

While Cossar describes himself as a “born and bred

thefts in Van Pelt have seen a significant decrease due to the visitor management system installed at its entrance point that logs all non-Penn Card holding visitors. Rush also believes that the decrease is due to more responsible student actions.

He said that both times, the experience was invaluable to his education.

Retail thefts are down over the last two years as well due to similar project enacted by DPS that identified which retail locations were hit the hardest by theft, and which times of the week and day were most common. DPS then stationed Allied Barton officers outside of those locations during peak hours to discourage theft. The hottest retail locations for theft were American Apparel, Urban Outfitters and the Walnut Street CVS locations at 34th Street and 39th Street, among

changes you as a person; it forces you to really examine who you are and what you want,” he said. “If I hadn’t gone abroad, I probably wouldn’t be sitting at this desk right now talking to you.”

For Cossar, coming to Penn required a lot of adjustment, if only because of how “progressive” Penn’s abroad programs are.

“Penn is a world-leading institution,” Cossar said. “Its presence on a global stage is enormous, and its emphasis on abroad experiences is that much bigger.

You have so many more choices at Penn. Whether you want to be abroad for as long as a year or a semester or as short as a week, you can really customize that experience here.”

Cossar also described Penn as “decentralized,” noting that an institution as big as Penn has a lot of independent parts. As a result, Cossar described much of his responsibilities as coordinating

others. However, as a result of increased crime mapping and analysis, 2015 has seen 28 less counts of retail theft.

Even with the implementation of extra security measure, Rush urges students to maintain mindfulness with their personal belongings. “There are people who, when opportunity knocks, decide they have the motivation to take that opportunity to steal your belongings,” Rush said. “Never have somebody you don’t know watch your personal property.”

between Penn-approved programs abroad and their appropriate equivalent schools at Penn.

Cossar fills the position vacated by former Director of Penn Abroad Barbara Gorka, who is now a Spanish instructor at Penn.

He describes his arrival at Penn Abroad as coming at a very exciting time because the office is in the process of even further review and expansion.

Cossar’s most immediate goal is to increase Penn Abroad’s presence and engagement on campus with students, from closely examining past student experiences on existing programs to expanding programs to new locations.

But before he makes any decisions on new programs or what to change in existing programs, Cossar stressed that he wants to spend more time interacting with students.

“We really need a better understanding of student

demographics — from students who have a foreign language to the types of cultural experiences students are looking for,” he said.

Cossar also said that he has been pleasantly surprised by his interactions with other Penn staff and faculty, particularly those who deal with study abroad.

“There is such a willingness on everyone’s part to share everything and to show everyone the easiest and most efficient way to do things,” he said. “It really shows that everyone is here for the students and to make sure that students have the best abroad experiences possible.”

In the future, Cossar said that his ultimate goal is to see as many students excited about study abroad as possible.

“We want to be seen as a place on campus that works with students to identify every experience and opportunity worth pursuing,” he said.

The coffee would often otherwise “be out of someone’s price range,” Clayton said.

Across America, people who weren’t even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute. In a class of its own, and much to Ginsburg’s own amusement, is the Notorious RBG Tumblr, which juxtaposes the diminutive but fierce Jewish grandmother with the 350-pound rapper featuring original artwork submitted from around the world.

“Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg” offers a visually rich, intimate, unprecedented look at the Justice and how she changed the world. From Ginsburg’s refusal to let the slammed doors of sexism stop her to her innovative legal work, from her before-its-time feminist marriage to her perch on the nation’s highest court—with the fierce dissents to match—get to know RBG as never before. As the country struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stands as a testament to how far we can come with a little chutzpah.

LGBT community reacts to sexual assault survey findings Some skeptical of school’s commitment EUNICE LIM Staff Reporter

On Wednesday, a group of around 20 students gathered at the LGBT Center to discuss sexual violence in the community, following a recent survey showing a low report rate of the crime.

On Sept. 21, Penn released the results from a sexual assault climate survey conducted by the Association of American Universities, which revealed statistics on sexual assault and misconduct incidents, as well as reporting about how attitudes regarding how the incidents would be handled. Twentyseven schools participated in the survey, which released aggregate data, though Penn released its own results separately.

Fifty-four Penn students who responded to the report identified as TGQN (transgender, genderqueer, questioning or non-conforming), 29 of them undergraduates. Over 50 percent of respondents identifying as TGQN undergrads believed campus officials would take no or little action against a perpetrator of sexual violence, compared to under 25 percent of those who identified as either male or female undergraduates. Biostatistics professor Scarlett Bellamy pointed to how the numbers regarding actual incidents were the bleakest for women, especially

C R IME LOG

those who identified as TGQN, a trend consistent throughout the schools.

“Having the scope of the problem quantified gives us the power to act,” Bellamy said.

“This report has created a comprehensive baseline for us to begin looking for ways to improve the cultural climate and make the picture better.”

Following Bellamy’s presentation, Director of Student Sexual Violence Prevention and Education Jessica Mertz gave an overview of the resources available at Penn. Mertz went over the different programming facilitated by Penn Violence Prevention, such as the student anti-violence advocate training, as well as the comprehensive list of safe and confidential resources listed on PVP’s website.

“I’m a faculty member and have been for many years, but if a student came to me asking me about resources for these issues, I wouldn’t know off the top of my head where to send them,” Bellamy said. “The school is raising consciousness and awareness around these issues but it’s incremental. What I will do now though is take this back to my graduate group and say ‘we’ve got to do something about this.’”

For the remainder of the time, students in the audience were allowed to voice their opinions on the survey, its shortcomings, its importance, and how they thought Penn was responding to it.

audience compared their experience with the administration at Penn to that of their former school. “Before I came to Penn, I attended Columbia, and the school’s treatment of sexual assault left me with a sense that [the] administration is untrustworthy in tending to the deep trauma that occurs to someone in a sexual violence incident,” the student said. “And I don’t necessarily trust the president of Penn’s real intentions either.

Mertz responded by saying, “As somebody who has worked at Penn and with supporting survivors, I can say there is a genuinely concerned, thoughtful and well-trained team of us to support survivors individually and through group-counseling.

Other students said there needs to be more done on campus to prevent sexual assault, though they also hesitated on answering what “doing more” would exactly entail.

OPINION What the next Phila. mayor can do for millennials EDITORIAL

THURSDAY OCTOBER 29, 2015 VOL. CXXXI, NO. 93 131st Year of Publication

MATT MANTICA President JILL CASTELLANO Editor-in-Chief SHAWN KELLEY Opinion Editor LUKE CHEN Director of Online Projects LAUREN FEINER City News Editor KRISTEN GRABARZ Campus News Editor CLAIRE COHEN Assignments Editor STEVEN TYDINGS Social Media Director PAOLA RUANO Copy Editor

The mayoral race is pretty much over. Tuesday is Election Day and almost everyone knows that Jim Kenney, the Democratic candidate, is going to win. That’s simply the reality of Philadelphia politics.

But just because the outcome of the race is predetermined does not mean Kenney isn’t the best choice for mayor, or that the next four years have to be more of the same. And that doesn’t mean that the election is irrelevant to us students.

Kenney is a powerful political figure in Philadelphia — he’s served as a city council member since 1991 and has been on the board of major corporations and nonprofits, such as the insurance company Independence Blue Cross and the Community College of Philadelphia. And, like any Philadelphian who matters (sarcasm intended), he’s even taught a course at Penn (where he garnered a 3.2 instructor rating on Course Review). He has a strong record for protect-

ing worker’s rights and the environment, and wants to focus on funding early childhood education and implementing body cameras for police. These are all issues we believe are important and can get behind, which is why we support Ken-

underachieving. Racial tension is coming to a head across the country, most often when police officers unjustly take the lives of African Americans.

And we hope that ensuring all Philadelphia police officers wear body cameras will be at

As college students, we can’t speak with authority for policy recommendations. …

What we can speak to, however, is what the millenial generation wants from our city government.” ney for mayor, and we think others should as well.

But regardless of who is elected next week, there is still a lot of work to be done in Philadelphia, particularly when it concerns education, poverty and job creation.

The Philadelphia education system is in shambles — it’s underfunded and students are

the top of the mayor’s agenda.

As college students, we can’t speak with authority for policy recommendations on those issues, besides recognizing that they are important and need to be addressed by the new mayor. What we can speak to, however, is what the millennial generation wants from our city government.

While we recognize that the issues which affect us as Penn students are not as urgent as those facing many local, working-class Philadelphia residents, we also don’t have an advocacy group lobbying for changes on our behalf.

So here are some changes we would like to see considered by the next mayor, changes that would help retain more millennials like us after we graduate.

1) The difficulty of getting around is one of the biggest drawbacks of living in Philadelphia. While the SEPTA Key program, which will finally bring SEPTA into the 21st century, is a huge leap forward in terms of ease of access, SEPTA hours should be extended so people can use it 24/7. Currently, the MarketFrankford line and the Broad Street line have 24/7 weekend service “until further notice,” which is great. But SEPTA should officially make this extension of hours permanent,

and include bus services and other lines in order to the extend public transportation to the many people who live outside the areas serviced by the MFL and BSL. In addition, the future mayor and administration should advocate for ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft by pressuring state legislators to pass common sense regulations, which would bring the entire industry under one set of standards. The city government also needs to continue to make the city more walkable and bikeable. Philadelphia currently has a 77 walk score and 68 bicycle score, which is good, but could be improved. Green spaces need to be preserved, and the city should continue to make bikeshares ubiquitous throughout the city.

2) The draconian liquor regulations of Pennsylvania also need to be addressed by the next mayor. Although the state controls these laws through the Pennsylvania

Liquor Control Board, the city government should apply pressure on the state to lessen some of the more extreme laws.

For example, liquor licenses are currently priced around $120,000. While this means that Philadelphia has a unique culture of BYO’s, it also discourages the lively food scenes found in other cities because restaurants largely make their profit off alcohol sales.

3) Finally, the mayor should help Philadelphia become the thriving art center it is poised to be, by funding and supporting artistic endeavors, especially when they involve the community. This means financially supporting the production of art through residencies and fellowships for all kinds of artists, increasing affordable housing and loft spaces, giving artists spaces to display in the community and encouraging the many universities in Philadelphia to energize the Philadelphia art scene.

SMALL TALK | Why we can do more to make sure our politics accurately represent us At the Democratic debate several weeks ago, Hillary Clinton told her supporters that it was essential that every person vote. Clinton claimed that when voter turnout is high, Democrats have an edge over Republicans. While there are studies that both affirm and deny Clinton’s point, she is definitely correct in saying that more people should vote, although her reasoning is biased. More people should hit the polls come Election Day not because a certain political party needs your support, but simply because as a republic, our politicians should represent our values, not just those of a small portion of voters who have made the effort to vote.

Last year, the voter turnout for congressional midterms was a measly 36 percent of eligible voters. That’s the lowest voter turnout since 1942, but some may claim that’s simply due to the fact that this was a congressional vote as opposed to a presidential

one, which has historically always garnered a larger voting percentage. But even if we take into account the statistics from the 2012 presidential election, the United States managed just 53.6 percent of the voting population, which is the fourth lowest among OECD countries.

U.S., however, registering is an individual responsibility dependent on each eligible voter.

Because of this, there are three main courses of action that we can take as a country to increase voter turnout: introduce compulsory voting legislation, drastically make it easier to

Therefore the main culprit [of low voter turnout] seems to be our own disinterest in politics.”

The bright side is that the U.S. had the seventh highest turnout among registered voters with 84.3 percent. This means that those who are active enough to register are extremely likely to follow through and vote, but we still have to do a better job with registering.

The two OECD countries with the highest voter turnout, Belgium and Turkey, have mandatory voting laws. In the

register to vote or simply try to instill a passion about politics.

Although some may argue that compulsory voting would be good for America, there is no federal holiday for Election Day, so requiring all 227 million voting-eligible people to vote while still finding time to work or manage other responsibilities seems too complicated to sort out. The problem doesn’t seem to be in voting

registration either, because the process has become relatively painless. Many registration forms are available online and, in some states, same-day registration is acceptable on election day.

Therefore the main culprit seems to be our own disinterest in politics. It’s certainly true that politics has been a huge part of our culture; just look at the massive success of TV shows like House of Cards, Scandal and Homeland or the popularity of the Democratic debate, which had a reported 15.3 million viewers, a record audience for a televised Democratic debate. Nevertheless, when analyzing why eligible voters didn’t hit the polls in 2014, 28 percent said they were too busy, 16 percent said they were not interested and 8 percent forgot to vote, according to the Census Bureau.

These reasons seem more like excuses and could relatively be translated into potential votes if those voters were more

interested in politics, or simply recognized the massive part it plays in our lives.

Even if one chocks those numbers up to the fact that last year was only a congressional election cycle rather than a presidential one, picking our local representatives can actually have more of an effect on us as individuals than picking a president. Therefore, if you wish to see change in your taxes, your health care or more, the main way you can take a part in enacting that change is through voting for the leaders that you think best represent your views.

It’s time that we college students do our fair share as well.

While political voices on campus are notoriously strong, the difference between the share of the eligible population and voting population for the 18 to 34 age range has decreased from -11.6 to -13.2 percent.

This means over time, young adults have gotten even worse at voting. The amount of Penn

students voting decreased from approximately 1,460 voters in 2010 to 1,060 in 2014, proving we still have some work to do.

If we start actively participating in politics now, we can ensure our politics properly represent us now and for generations to come.

Gutmann announces President’s Innovation Prize

The prize promotes student entrepreneurship CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

Penn President Amy Gutmann announced today the launch of the President’s Innovation Prize, an opportunity for Penn students to apply their entrepreneurial ideas to the real world while also making a difference.

The prize, which will be awarded to a senior or a group of up to five seniors, includes a $100,000 award along with a $50,000 living stipend for each team member. Winners will also receive designated office space in the Pennovation Works for one year and mentorship from Penn Innovation Center staff.

Projects, which should be commercial in nature, must also be

socially impactful. Gutmann emphasized the importance of “doing well by doing good,” saying that the prize is “looking for students to take what they learn in the classroom and put it into an innovative commercially viable idea that has social impact.”

Applications are welcome from students of all four undergraduate schools. Penn Innovation Center Executive Director John Swartley explained that while most innovations are technological, the “spirit of entrepreneurship” allows for proposals that encompass all disciplines.

Ultimately, the prize will spur on Penn’s efforts to increase innovation, a priority of Gutmann’s and the Penn Compact 2020.

“It helps the overall spirit and culture and innovation here,” Swartley said. “The innovation ecosystem ties us all together.”

Applications for the prize will open later this week. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 12, 2016, and the prize will be awarded in April 2016. The application includes a project description, a commitment from a mentor, two letters of recommendation, a resume, a business plan and an optional 90-second video.

Gutmann said that the prize is particularly fitting for Penn students because of their inclination towards creativity and innovation as well as social impact.

“One of the major reasons that I think this prize is so appropriate is because Penn students are so eager to be entrepreneurial, use their education to be entrepreneurial and to do good at the same time,” Gutmann said. “This prize encapsulates all of that DNA that’s already in the Penn student body.”

University Council discusses free speech, fundraising and mental health CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

On Wednesday afternoon, administrators, faculty and students met in Houston Hall for the University Council’s second meeting of the year. The meeting was attended by University leaders, including Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price, as well as representatives from a wide variety of student groups.

The group discussed the state of open expression at Penn, which included an update from a panel of administrators: Penn Law professor Anita Allen, Associate Vice Provost for Equity and Access William Gipson, Associate Vice Provost for Student Affairs Hikaru Kozuma and Senior Vice President and General Counsel Wendy White.

The panel discussed the history of open expression at Penn and

national issues that have brought open expression in higher education into the spotlight. Penn’s current efforts to protect free speech include initiatives such as the Open Expression Guidelines, the Committee on Open Expression and Open Expression observers.

Following the update, the meeting was opened for discussion, and the panel addressed concerns raised by student representatives of several groups, including College Republicans, Penn Association for Gender Equity and the Muslim Student Association.

Gutmann also discussed the President’s Innovation Prize, which was formally announced Wednesday morning. The prize, which is the commercial analogue of the President’s Engagement Prize, rewards student entrepreneurs whose ideas are innovative and carry a social impact.

Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations John Zeller proceeded to update the University Council about the state of Penn’s fundraising, focusing on the progress that has been made in supporting student aid and faculty.

The meeting concluded with the status of the Task Force on Student Psychological Health and Welfare, provided by Counseling and Psychological Services Director William Alexander, Graduate Student Center and Family Resource Center Director Anita Mastroieni and Vice Provost for Education Beth Winkelstein.

So far, the Task Force has addressed mental health through its forthcoming wellness app, the HELP line, the Thrive at Penn pre-orientation module, I-CARE training, the Faculty Wellness 75004 Ambassador Program and expansion of CAPS services.

‘Rethink Your Footprint’ to change recylcing behavior Penn is one year in to its five-year climate action plan EDUARDO COCCARO Contributing Reporter

As of last week, the University’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 has completed one year of scaling down and raising awareness of the Penn community’s environmental footprint.

The five-year action plan consists of a series of initiatives designed to engage students and faculty in tackling the challenges lying in the way of a greener campus. According to Sarah Fisher, a sustainability strategic planner at Facilities and Real Estate Services, the engagement demonstrated so far has revealed “a community well-versed in sustainability.” As the “Rethink Your Footprint” campaign enters

its third year, events are being planned throughout the month of November in order to raise awareness about individual actions that can help mitigate the environmental strain caused by a large and busy community.

Ever since joining the nationwide “Recyclemania” campaign, FRES has sponsored efforts to curb Penn’s waste. Rather than focus solely on recycling, however, the more recent efforts also concern green purchasing and source reduction. One such effort is the partnership between the University and Wash Cycle Laundry, founded by 2005 Wharton graduate Gabriel Mandujano. Student Eco Reps have been assigned to college houses, assisting in projects such as the upkeep of Bartram’s Garden.

Students value nonprofit work experiences in Philadelphia Hands-on work and community bonding are key VIBHA KANNAN Staff Reporter

It only took Engineering junior Sarah Poehlmann a 15 minute bike ride every morning to see the dramatic shift from Penn’s idyllic campus to the multi-unit row houses of West Philadelphia.

Poehlmann is among a small number of Penn students who interned at a Philadelphia nonprofit last summer. Her early morning commute this past summer took her from 39th Street to her internship at LIFT, a local nonprofit.

According to the University’s Career Plans Survey Report for the Class of 2014, only 5 percent of full-time employed students go into the nonprofit sector.

College junior Mira Nathanson, who also interned at LIFT, said that her internship allowed her to pursue her interest in policy and inequality.

“LIFT gave me a really great opportunity to build a partnership with members of the local community and help them get out of

poverty,” Nathanson said.

Some students also valued that many of these local Philadelphia nonprofits were smaller in size than corporations where some of their peers interned.

This past summer, College sophomore Bryan Rodriguez interned at Philadelphia Legal Assistance, a nonprofit granting legal assistance to low-income individuals.

Rodriguez said working in a more intimate setting allowed him to take on greater responsibility.

“At PLA, I really had a role in the community, which is very different from the sort of experience I would have had working at a large law firm,” he said.

College sophomore Diana Zhou, who interned at Art-Reach, also mentioned the benefits of working in a small non-profit.

“I feel like a lot of people, especially at large companies, have experiences where you are kind of cogs in a machine,” Zhou said.

“But since Art-Reach was so small, I really felt like I was making a tangible change.”

The most valuable experience for all these students, however, was their involvement in the local

Philadelphia community. College junior Bridget Amoako said that she stepped out of her comfort zone when working at the Nationalities Service Center with local refugees.

Zhou added that working with disability patients at Art-Reach made her feel part of the Philadelphia community.

“Being able to see the people of Philadelphia who aren’t just here for four year made me feel a lot more like the city was my home outside of being a temporary student,” she said.

After interning for nonprofits, some students have expressed interest in eventually working for one. And although others plan to take different career paths, they view their nonprofit internship as a defining experience.

“I think as Penn students, we’re so focused on how to be an investment banker and how to be a consultant that we forget that so much of college is learning how to be a person,” Poehlmann said.

“I think working at LIFT gave me a valuable balance to my engineering classes and my Penn experience.”

Merrill Lynch intern, believed to have been caused by an epileptic seizure after three days without sleep, many banks began to take preliminary measures to protect the mental health of interns and employees.

There’s no doubt that students at Penn are aware of banking’s intense reputation, but many believe that deciding to enter finance as a young adult can be easier than actually experiencing the pressures of life as a banker.

“I think people do take [the stress] into consideration but I don’t know that people have a full grasp of what that entails until they actually experience it,” Wharton sophomore Dawit Gebresellassie said. He added that some of his peers at Wharton decided to switch to non-finance concentrations after their summer internships at banks.

However, rewards like prestige, high salaries and future opportunities, as well as pressure from family and peers, can steer even students who don’t

but do not know how, Fisher said.

Urging students to reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink, Fisher said that Rethink Your Footprint aims to produce tangible results that will reverberate across the student body and faculty.

“Sustainability is talked about more and more on campus,” Fisher said, “but not everyone can, say, change the windows in a building.” In order to maximize each person’s waste reduction, the campaign seeks to inform them of all the resources at their disposal on campus. Fisher added that the project aims to provide a “portfolio of tools” which “people can use in their own spaces.”

With Rethink Your Footprint, FRES proposes what Fisher calls “behavior change everyone can do”.

like finance into a financial career. Gebresellassie said that one of his friends, who graduated and currently works in banking, came to Penn wanting to concentrate in legal studies, but her parents said they would only pay for her degree if she studied finance.

Though banking’s cutthroat reputation remains prevalent, many banks have taken steps to reduce the overworking of analysts and interns in light of the recent deaths.

The New York Times reported that Gupta often worked 100-hour weeks. In the weeks after his death, Goldman Sachs announced new rules requiring interns to be out of the office between the hours of midnight and 7 a.m. and all day Saturday. A year earlier, the bank had instituted a “Saturdaysoff” policy for analysts and associates. In 2014, Bank of America notified entry-level workers that they should take four days off per month, and JPMorgan Chase announced it would give analysts one protected weekend per month.

College and Wharton sophomore Billy Kacyem said he likes finance, but wouldn’t

want to be an investment banker because having a good work-life balance is too important to him. He worked in investment services at a bank this past summer and enjoyed his job because he got experience in finance without the high stress attached to some other finance jobs.

“Your health is the most important thing in your life,” Kacyem said.

Still, he conceded that the competitive mentality of Penn students leads many, especially those in Wharton, to pursue financial careers.

Wharton senior Daniel Kurland, who plans to work in investment banking next year and has completed a banking internship, said that understanding the nature of the industry and managing his workload can help him during his job.

“Personally I’m very excited about entering the industry,” he said. “I know it’s really hard, but at the same time I know from the summer that I definitely know what steps I can take to make sure I can be in the right state of mind to put my best foot forward.”

Out of title contention, Penn looks for strong finish

M. SOCCER | Team hopes

for better shot percentage WILL AGATHIS Associate Sports Editor SATURDAY

Brown (8-5-1, 2-1-1 Ivy) 7 p.m.

Providence, R.I.

For Penn men’s soccer, missing out on the Ivy League championship does not mean the season is over.

The Quakers, usually a powerhouse in the Ivy League, are en route to their second consecutive nonchampionship season. Nonetheless, the Red and Blue (2-8-2, 1-2-1 Ivy) will look to finish the season strong by winning their final four matches.

The first of those will come on Saturday when Penn travels to Providence, R.I., for a conference matchup against Brown.

And even though the team is out

of contention for the Ivy League championship, coach Rudy Fuller has every intention of doing what it takes to win out.

“What it comes down to is the culture and the habits of the program have to stay consistent,” he said. “You can’t just be at your best or try on 72-degree sunny days or when there’s something to play for.”

Just like any coach who wants to finish strongly in an unsuccessful season, Fuller has faced the challenge of wanting to give his seniors a few more starts before they graduate while affording his younger players more experience on the field in ingame situations. In response to this challenge, Fuller has held firm on his primary strategy: Win first.

“As always, we’re going to play the best 11, regardless of where they are in their career, to try and help us win the game,” Fuller said.

In order to beat Brown (8-5-1, 2-11), which has excelled on defense throughout the year, the Quakers will once again look for more goals from their offense.

ALEX FISHER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Senior midfielder James Rushton has been a stablilizing presence for a Penn squad that has otherwise relied heavily on underclassmen.

In terms of chances, Penn has had a pretty standard number of shots, but it is the team’s shot percentage (seven percent as opposed to its

average of 11 percent over the past five years) that clearly pinpoints the team’s misfortune on offense.

“The chances have been there.

We’ve created chances. It’s just that final pass, that final shot, that hasn’t really gone our way,” senior midfielder James Rushton said. “If you keep getting the chances the goals will come.”

Coming into this season, it was well known that the team would have its growing pains with so many new young starters, many of whom struggled out of the gate. But the Quakers’ freshmen and sophomores have since been some of the top performers on the team, both on offense and defense.

In fact, none of the team’s seniors or juniors have scored a goal this year. Of course, this means that Penn has a bright future on offense.

On defense, the Quakers will look to their backs to hold Brown’s scoring in check. A strong mix of youth and experience, Penn’s backfield has been one of the team’s strong points to date and will look to keep its success going against a Brown team that has been good but not great at finding the back of the net.

Meanwhile, the goalkeeping situation for Penn seems to be as cloudy as ever. After a very successful season in 2014, senior goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne started the season strongly but sustained an injury and lost his job to fellow senior Nick Savino upon returning. In turn, Savino shortly lost the starting spot thereafter.

Since then, Polkinhorne has started one game, but the majority of play lately has been given to freshman Etan Mabourakh. One of the top goalkeeper recruits in the nation in 2014, Mabourakh was given the opportunity to start and has played well as of late, even if the results have not been in his favor.

“It’s been a very unique situation for all of us, to have four goalkeepers of the quality we have, and that’s going to continue in the years ahead,” Fuller said.

There’s no way around it — a lot remains unsettled for the Red and Blue. But with a games remaining, they have plenty of time to clear things up heading into next year.

Associate Sports Editor

This weekend, Penn volleyball will have some intimidating guests at its Halloween party.

The Quakers will host the top two teams in the Ivy League this weekend, with matchups looming against Harvard on Friday night and Dartmouth on Saturday at the Palestra.

The Red and Blue (9-11, 3-5 Ivy) have lost four straight and five of their last six after a strong start to the season. None of those losses was more convincing than a 25-19, 25-13, 25-14 beatdown at Harvard

The Palestra

(10-8, 6-2) on Oct. 3.

But the Quakers may have put on their most impressive showing of the season against the Big Green (9-8, 6-2), a three-set road win on Oct. 2 which, until a sweep at the hands of the Crimson last Friday, was Dartmouth’s only loss of the season.

Penn coach Kerry Carr admitted that the team prepares differently for rematches depending on the results of the first game.

“You want to look at what a team did to you last time, unless

they didn’t do much — then you’d want to see what they’re doing to other teams,” she said.

“But you want to keep up what you did do well against them.”

To that end, Carr noted that Penn has spent the week preparing for the Big Green team that has baffled the rest of the league, not the squad the Quakers cruised by earlier this month. The team that will be looking at the Penn-Dartmouth tape, ironically, is Harvard, who certainly didn’t get a chance to see Penn at its best first-hand.

What the Red and Blue’s Ivy rivals will see on the tape is a team that is anything but conservative. The Quakers, as Carr has pointed out throughout the season, play an outgoing, risky style of offense.

“It comes down to finding a balance between being aggressive and making too many errors,” senior captain Alex Caldwell said.

When the Penn is at its best, it looks unstoppable. Unfortunately, that ceiling hasn’t been reached very often this season, which is why the Quakers enter the weekend with a leagueworst .148 hitting percentage.

But Caldwell thinks the Red and Blue are ready to bring their best against the teams that have — so far — been the best.

“We’re all really excited.

We had a great practice yesterday, and another great practice today,” Caldwell said on Tuesday. “We’re getting in the gym, getting better and really taking the time to scout those teams.

And having the home-court advantage is something that I really think is going to help us.”

Caldwell isn’t too concerned with the recent success of Penn’s upcoming opponents.

“Everybody’s beating everybody. Because no one’s undefeated, I think we always have a chance to win,” she said.

Looking at the standings, it’s pretty clear that Penn has to win out if it wants to have any shot at an Ivy title. But Carr believes that attaching “must-win” status to any game falsely understates

the importance of all games.

“When you say a ‘must-win’ game — in the Ivy League, we approach every game as a mustwin game,” she said. “And if we drop it, every [following] game is still a must-win. I don’t care if you’re down to the last game, it’s still a must-win.

“Because it is the Ivy League.

It is about pride, it’s about beating that team across the net.

Whether you beat that team already once, or it’s your first time beating them, it’s a must-win,” the coach added.

The Quakers know they have to win. They believe that they can. All that remains to be seen is whether they will make good on this chance to remind the rest of the league that this is still a team to be feared.

Red and Blue looking to add to Tigers 16-year woes SPRINT FB | Penn preps

The players also want to put their best foot forward in the seniors’ last games and the final

game of the season. “We want to go out and win, put out a good showing,

especially for our fans and for our seniors because this is it for them,� said senior linebacker

and defensive back Stu Helgeson.

The festivities for Senior Night include honoring all 10 seniors on the field before the game, and many of their families will be in attendance. The night is sure to be an emotional one for the seniors. “There will probably be some tears, knowing it’s the last time you’re going to play in a collegiate game, on Franklin Field, and against our archrival Princeton,� Wagner said.

Wagner also expects a solid performance from his seniors in their last contest. “They want to do their best game, they want to do as well as they possibly can,� Wagner said.

The Red and Blue is ready to move past last week’s tough loss — a come-from-behind effort against the top team in the nation that just missed victory after a botched field goal attempt. Now, its time to focus on the game at hand. “Every game is a new game,�

Wagner said. “Princeton is on our schedule, it’s Senior Night, our guys are ready to go.�

Helgeson agrees with Wagner’s sentiment. “You just flush it down the toilet after a day of mourning the loss, then you just have to refocus, have a good week at practice, prepare, and just kind of forget about the loss,� Helgeson said.

“young pups,� a term Priore affectionately uses to describe the several younger players with large roles on defense.

Rookie defensive back Sam Philippi is fifth on the team in tackles. Fellow freshman Mason Williams has delivered a handful of hard hits in the secondary. And sophomore Colton Moskal, who transferred from Syracuse in the offseason, is averaging 6.8 tackles per game, the third-most on the team.

“We don’t really know what it’s like playing at this level,�

Williams said about his fellow freshmen. “We’re getting a little taste of it now, and as we progress in our careers, we’ll get more comfortable. It’s a different speed, a different level, a different strength. We had to up our game to help our defense get stops.�

Combined, the team’s experienced and younger players have managed to form a unit that leads the Ivy League in sacks and forced

fumbles and is tied for second in picks. The Quakers showed off all of their strengths against the Bulldogs last weekend, picking off four passes, including two in the end zone, while holding Yale to 10 points after the first quarter.

After 21-point losses to Lehigh and Dartmouth in two of their first three games, it didn’t seem like the Red and Blue would be able to reach this point. Then the Fordham game happened.

With the Quakers trailing by

25 near the end of the first half on Oct. 10, their defense resiliently stood tall in the third and fourth quarters, allowing only 13 points after halftime to the No. 13 Rams as Penn fought to come back. “That was a time when our kids began playing with confidence, and since then we’ve played incredibly well,� Priore said. “Since then, our defense has been able to have great cohesion and been able to play really well,�

Williams noted. “I think our

There might not be much left at stake for Penn sprint football, but there is still plenty to play for.

A f ter bei ng el i m i nated from Collegiate Sprint Football League championship contention in last week’s double-overtime loss to Army West Point, the Quakers will look to reset and finish the season on a high note against rival Princeton this Friday.

Aside from going up against their Ivy League rival, this game holds a special significance for the Quakers (4-2), as it is the team’s Senior Night.

Accordingly, much of the focus during the night will be on the seniors, who are not only playing their last home game, but also their last game for the Red and Blue. “Their parents are going to be here, all of the fans are going to be here, we want to have a celebration,� coach Bill Wagner said.

Although Princeton (0-3) has not won a game this year — or for the last 16 years — the Quakers are not taking their opponent lightly or treating them any differently. “It’s a footba ll ga me,�

Wagner said. “You can never underestimate your opponent, you’ve got to have respect for them, and you’ve got to play hard and clean and finish up strong.�

The same holds true for Penn’s approach to the game itself, despite the fact that the Red and Blue are no longer in championship contention. This week’s game provides the team with the opportunity to just enjoy themselves and not worry as much about the outcome of the game. “They’re ready to have another battle, and I think you’ll see a lot of guys play and have a lot of fun and win with class,�

Wagner said.

For the Quakers, an area of emphasis this week is closing out games strong, something that they failed to do last week against Army. "[We need to] finish the game,� Helgeson said. “We didn’t do that last week, we let Army hang around too long, and we’ve got to put them away.�

Friday night’s festivities will certainly be exciting, and Penn will look to put up a strong effort for their seniors’ last hurrah.

attitude is really positive.�

So while there’s room for debate as to whether the Quakers as a whole are back, the squad’s defense has done all it can to keep the team in the Ivy title race. Be it a rookie or a veteran, each player’s efforts have allowed Penn to truly stifle its opponents by doing the little things right.

After all, as Priore noted, “It’s nice to see that balance between the ages and know everybody is buying in.�

Quakers plan to give Brown a scare on the road W. SOCCER | Penn aims

for third-place Ivy finish WILL SNOW Sports Reporter SATURDAY

Brown (5-7-2, 1-3-1 Ivy) 3:30 p.m.

Providence, R.I.

Halloween is the time for instilling fear in others, and Penn women’s soccer looks set to terrify all who stand in its way.

Its first victim? A less-than-menacing Brown team on the road.

The Red and Blue (6-3-5, 1-1-3 Ivy) travel to Providence on Saturday to visit the Bears (5-7-1, 1-3-1) in its penultimate Ivy matchup of the season. Coming off a strong victory against Yale, the high-flying Penn squad feels confident of their chances against Brown.

A simple glance at the results this season explains why the team is feeling so sure of itself at the moment. After a long streak of goalless games and draws, the Quakers have burst to life with several impressive results in succession, aside from a bizarre aberration against Dartmouth two weeks ago.

“Our style of play is good,” coach Nicole Van Dyke said. “We’re outshooting people, we’re getting tons of opportunities, we’re scoring goals and now we’ve got the Ivy

girls,” senior attacker and captain Elizabeth Hitti said. “We’re pushing ourselves to have the games of our lives this Saturday and next week.”

Hitti has been an integral part of the Penn offense this season, amassing 16 assists thus far. With 32 assists to her name throughout her four years, her next assist will break two school records: both for assists in one season and in a

win. You know, we’ve only lost to Harvard.”

Indeed, the team is looking to build upon those mid-season draws by collecting some late-season wins — the Red and Blue are now eyeing a late surge up to third place in the Ivy League. Heading into this weekend’s tilt with Brown, Penn sits only one point and a couple goals away from the bronze spot, currently occupied jointly by Cornell and Columbia.

“That’s the goal,” Van Dyke said of finishing third. “We’re trying to control what we can control. Between third and fourth, it’s going to be pretty tight.”

But with things seeming to click at long last for her team, Van Dyke remains confident that her squad can do what it takes to achieve its goal.

“We’re continuing to build on our identity and the style that we want to play,” she continued. “Now I think we’re starting to fire on all cylinders, and now everyone has the idea of what it’s supposed to look like.”

This process is normal with new coaches: She will bring in her new philosophy, and it will take time for her players to adapt to the new way of playing. Sometimes it takes as long as a season or two, but Van Dyke’s women, especially on the attacking side, are now getting the message.

The first-year coach’s instructions to her forwards are relatively straightforward: press the defense

high up, and win the ball quickly.

However, her directions took a while to be fully realized.

“The high pressure has changed our game completely,” senior back Caroline Dwyer said. “Me, [freshman] Sasha [Stephens], and [junior Olivia] Blaber up top have tried to just press the defense. It’s so much easier to score if you are already in the final third when you win the ball.”

Indeed, Dwyer scored her firstever collegiate goal in her fourth and final season playing for the Red and Blue against Yale last weekend after pressing the defense and winning the ball. After a strong showing against the Elis, Dwyer and the whole team feel confident that they could now beat any team in the division.

“If you talk to anybody on the team, we’re disappointed we only have two games left,” Van Dyke said. “If you’re not competing for the championship, some kids usually start to check out. But that’s a testament to this group and this year that they’ll linger on the field [after practice] if we don’t kick them off.”

That dedication and ambition is the hallmark of all championshipwinning sides. And while it may not be in contention for the Ivy title this season, the squad will certainly carry its current form through the final matches and into next year.

And if current form is anything to go by, it should be a frightening weekend for the Bears’ defense.

Senior back Caroline Dwyer scored the first goal of her collegiate career last weekend against Yale, as Penn grabbed its first Ivy win of 2015. Dwyer and the Quakers will look to make it a streak against Brown.

Penn career.

This game also holds special significance for Penn freshman attacker Karen Seid, whose twin sister Ellie starts for the Bears (6-8, 1-4) .

“Our whole life we have played on the same team,” Seid admitted.

“Going to college has been weird for both of us, but it has helped us develop as individuals, both on and off the field. It’ll be strange playing against her but also a lot of fun.”

Against Brown, Penn will look

to replicate the successes of the past few games that have earned the Quakers a three-game winning streak.

“We just have to keep doing what we’re doing,” Hitti said.

“Our offensive production has been solid all season. If we can keep that up we’ll finish the season well.”

Some defensive lapses, however, have been concerning for the Red and Blue as of late, including two goals on corners in the recent 4-2 win against Yale. However,

Penn coach Colleen Fink is not alarmed.

“Corners are always an advantage to an opponent, so the real problem is limiting them in the first place,” she explained. “It’s one of the primary focuses of our defense. You just try to defend them the best you can when you give one up.”

With only two games remaining, it seems late in the season to be making any major adjustments. But Fink knows that there are still small kinks that need

to be worked out if the Quakers want to get over the hump and win the title.

“It’s never too late to be working on things,” Fink said.

“The players look forward to the games, but the coaches look forward to practice. Practice is where we iron out our wrinkles and get our team playing the best hockey it can play.”

Despite Brown sitting near the bottom of the Ivy League standings, Fink insists that the team does not overlook any opposition.

“I don’t think we’ve looked past any game all season,” Fink said. “We approach every game the same, and that’s to play the best Penn hockey we can.”

“We’re concentrated on Brown.

Just Brown,” Hitti echoed.

“Before we think about next week, we have business to take care of on Saturday.”

And if the Red and Blue can come away with a victory this weekend, they will be one final step away from making a preseason dream into reality.

Brown (4-2, 2-1 Ivy) 12:30 p.m.

Providence, R.I.

This is the Penn football we’re accustomed to seeing.

In 2014, the Red and Blue featured one of the worst defenses in the Ivy League, surrendering nearly 32 points per game while failing to stifle opponents in the passing game. Entering

this season, it was clear to coaches and players alike that any sort of resurgence in the Ancient Eight standings could only come with increasingly staunch defensive play.

A program accustomed to winning games by playing tougher than its foes, the Quakers ranked near the bottom of the conference in most relevant statistics last year, finishing tied for sixth in interceptions and points per game, while notching the second-fewest sacks. Like perennial losers Cornell and Columbia, Penn became the team quarterbacks like Yale’s Morgan Roberts and Dartmouth’s Dalyn Williams eviscerated.

That has all changed in 2015.

After giving up 42 points in a season-opening loss to Lehigh, the Red

and Blue have buckled down in five games since. While Penn is still allowing the sixth-most points in the conference, it’s the manner in which it has created turnovers at opportune times that has helped it move over .500 in Ivy play for the first time in nearly two years. "[Defensive coordinator] Bob Benson came in with a very similar scheme to what we played in the past and hit the refresh button,” head coach Ray Priore said. “We’re playing with confidence. We’ve broken it down and gotten back to the basics — something that’s been our theme this year — while taking care of the little things.”

No Red and Blue defender is playing with more confidence than senior captain and linebacker Tyler Drake.

A 2014 All-Ivy honorable mention, the veteran has been otherworldly this season: Drake leads the team with 50 tackles, 6.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions.

It’s been impossible for his teammates and coaches not to notice.

“When your hardest workers are your really good players, that’s a really good thing,” Priore said. “You’ve seen that rebirth and re-energization on that side on the ball thanks to a lot of the plays that Tyler has made.”

“I’d like to think that my leadership style is ‘lead by example’, because you can’t have a ‘do as I say not as I do’ attitude and expect to see results,” Drake added. “It’s on our whole senior class

As Bo Jackson once said, “Set your goals high, and don’t stop until you get there.”

For Penn field hockey, this weekend’s game marks a crucial moment in achieving the hefty preseason goal of winning the Ivy League title.

The Quakers (12-2, 4-1 Ivy) square off against Brown at noon this Saturday in Providence. A win over the Bears along with a win next Saturday against Princeton would earn the Red and Blue at least a share of the Ivy League title for the first time since 2004.

With the championship still to play for, the team is feeling both pressure and excitement. This is especially true for the seniors who have been working for four years to create this opportunity.

“This is our last chance to do it, so it means a lot to me and the other [senior]

NOW WE’VE GOT BAD BLOOD

DP S WA M I S

[Disclaimer: Swamis is an exercise where The Daily Pennsylvanian’s editors make jokes and pick the Ivy League football games (plus America’s Game of the Week). Enjoy!

-Riley] Baby, now we’ve got bad blood.

But it used to be mad love. Take a look what you’ve done. Because now we’ve got bad blood.

Did Brown have to do that?

Swamis were thinking that it could be trusted.

As it turns out, nothing is more useless than a school named after a color.

A mascot? Sure. Big Green, Big Red, Red and Blue, Crimson, Light Blue.

That works. But not when the school itself is named after a color that typically needs to be flushed down.

Two years ago, our fearless

Quakers made the trek up to Providence in a similar spot to where they are now. It was Halloween weekend, and no proposition was scarier than spending a weekend in Rhode Island.

Back then, Penn was undefeated in Ivy League play, dominating its opponents, and — seemingly — on its way to a fourth Ivy title in five years. That is until Brown got in the way.

Instead of rolling over like the good animals Swamis hoped they would be, the Bears shut the Quakers out, 27-0. It destroyed the dream. It crushed our souls. It started a losing streak that lasted 50 weeks.

See, Brown betrayed us. It’s so sad to think about the good times because we figured we could fight crime together and stop the world’s worst thieves. You know, the Harvards and

Princetons of the world.

Granted, that meant Brown had to willingly lose to Penn. A lot. But it was a good partnership. Nothing made it easier for the Quakers to finish their season against Princeton and Harvard than an easy win against the Bears.

Until that fateful day in 2013. We’d seen signs of Brown’s betray-AL (sound familiar?), like in 2011 when it shut us out. But that had to be a fluke, right?

Nay. Two years ago, they stole what was rightfully ours. Now we’ve got bad blood.

So you ask...will Penn win?

Does a Brown Bear s**t in the woods?
