Almost every student currently applying to Penn this year will have an alumnus reach out to them for an interview, but it wasn’t always this way.

In 2012, there were about 4,000 volunteer alumni interviewers, and they only interviewed about 14,000 students — half of the application pool at the time.

T he ma i n reason

participation was sparse was because the program was “no one’s full time job,” said Director of the Alumni Interview Program Patrick Bredehoft.

Bredehoft was director in 2012 when the program moved from the Admissions Department, where it had been for the last 50 years of its existence, to the Alumni Office.

The idea was to have designated staff organizing the alumni interview process, rather than continuing to lump the program onto admissions officers’ already-full plates, which had proven to be ineffective.

“I need to think about high

school students, guidance counselors, and I love our alumni but they might be third or fourth in a given day of who I need to think about,” Dean of Admissions Eric Furda said.

And with so few students interviewed, it couldn’t really be taken into account as an important part of the application, he added. Furda wanted to change that. He looked to the successful programs at Princeton and Brown, and noticed that the key to their success seemed to be the interview program’s integration with their own alumni offices.

Penn prides itself on being a diverse and welcoming campus, but some black students question how the campus’ racial diversity — or lack thereof — influences their college experience.

College senior Camden Copeland, who identifies as black, said her experiences at Penn began mostly with students of color.

In her freshman year preorientation program, however, she was overwhelmed by the number of white students in the program.

“It shocked me. It was weird. It was very strange,” Copeland said.

According to Penn’s 2014 diversity study, 45 percent of undergraduates identified as white, and 7 percent as black.

Among graduate students, 45.6 percent identified as white, and 5.1 percent identified as black. In addition, 77 percent of

Penn’s leaders recognize the importance of combating mental health issues on campus.”

faculty were white, and 3.6 percent were black.

Copeland got used to being one of few blacks or the only black student in various groups, like her field hockey team. She said she came to Penn with a strong sense of identity, which helped her remain confident in herself.

“Growing up, I felt I had the right to be in any academic environment,” she added.

Copeland noted that although Penn can be somewhat isolating, she has found communities of people she identifies with and that allow her to feel comfortable on campus. Incidents like Phi Delta Theta’s photo with a black blowup doll, however, offended her and made her feel marginalized.

“I understand the University cannot fix structural racism, but it should make more of an effort to say this is not okay,” she continued.

She acknowledged that black students have varying experiences on campus, but SEE DIVERSITY PAGE 2

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2015 NOTES FROM

ABROAD

Some look to the summer to accommodate their travels JESSICA McDOWELL Enterprise Editor-elect

For many students, study abroad is an integral part of their undergraduate experience. But for others, study abroad is fundamentally incompatible with their studies at Penn. Penn data show that study abroad heavily favors College and Wharton students who choose to go in the fall of their junior years.

Of the 450 students currently enrolled in study abroad programs, only 41 of those students are engineers, and just four are nurses.

This stands in stark contrast to the 279 College students, 84 Wharton students and 40 students dual-enrolled in Wharton and the College who are currently studying abroad.

These numbers are nothing new.

For the 2013-14 academic year, Penn Abroad stated that roughly 25 percent of juniors in the College of Arts and Sciences studied abroad, while 26 percent of juniors in the Wharton School studied abroad.

Similar to the current semester, Penn Abroad reported that roughly 7 percent of engineers spent a semester abroad, as did just 5 percent of students enrolled in the School of Nursing.

For the entire 2013-14 academic year, 385 College students, 85 Wharton students, 30 Engineering students and 12 Nursing students went abroad. Of those, six College students, one Wharton student and one Engineering student were abroad for the entire year.

But the distinct correlation between schools or programs and the number of students they send abroad is perhaps not a surprise.

For students enrolled in either the Nursing School or the School of Engineering and Applied Science, academic requirements are often much more extensive, leaving little time for students to study abroad.

Students enrolled in programs like the Vagelos Molecular Life Sciences Program in the College have a similar experience.

So, the program moved to the Alumni house and received a staff all its own.

The system worked for Penn, too.

The numbers speak for themselves — last year, 9,000 alumni conducted interviews and reached out to 34,000 students. Furda said the interview component matters a

most detect the systematic racism. “[Black students] are forced to think critically about how their race impacts their interactions on campus, whether social or academic,” she said.

On Nov. 13, President Amy Gutmann sent an email to the Penn community in the wake of national and local racial debate. Approximately 300 students from colleges

Class reqs hinder study abroad plans “Life sciences is very dependent on physical measurements and instrumentation,” Vagelos MLS Program Director Ponzy Lu said in an email. “Thus it is important to start with the basic chemistry, mathematics and physics courses which have two layers — freshmen and sophomore years.”

Lu added that the Vagelos MLS curriculum is not different from the curriculum required of a student enrolled in the Engineering School for the first two years in terms of rigor and flexibility.

But while Lu emphasized that after their first two years, students often had more flexibility to determine their schedule, he also acknowledged that very few students in the program spend a semester abroad. “I am aware of maybe six or so of our 197 graduates who did a semester abroad,” Lu said, adding that roughly an additional six students spent a summer on a study abroad program for which they earned Penn credit.

Lu also acknowledged that students enrolled in the program would need to plan in advance if they wanted to study abroad because of the differences in science curriculum in the United States versus universities abroad. “They need to plan ahead — science at an American university is done in lumps — interspersed with foundational and sector stuff. In almost all of the rest of the world, if you want to be a chemist, you study only chemistry. This makes taking a few courses not practical,” he wrote.

College senior Samuel Allon has personal experience of trying to gain abroad experience while being enrolled in the program.

“Coming into Penn, I was initially interested in studying abroad for a semester,” he said. “However, remaining in Vagelos MLS was a higher priority for me, and the two activities seemed mutually exclusive.”

Instead, Allon spent time abroad during two different summers, both as part of his scientific lab work. The summer after his

freshman year, he spent 10 weeks working in a biochemistry lab in Germany. Last summer, he traveled again, this time spending a week in Austria to attend the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution conference, for which he was awarded a scholarship.

For Allon, while neither of his abroad experiences fit the typical mold of a study abroad experience, they gave him many of the same experiences a normal study abroad experience might. “The experiences that I had abroad were probably more professional and more independent than the typical organized study abroad,” he said.

“Overall, my experiences abroad taught me many of the typical lessons, plus a couple of unexpected lessons,” he added, saying that he walked away with an appreciation for how valuable the English language is in modern sciences and a greater understanding of the struggles immigrants who come to the U.S. face.

Lu doesn’t see the small numbers of students studying abroad

in the Vagelos program as an issue, because many students in the program already have or gain international experience through their own field of study. “I would estimate that easily one-third or more of our students are foreign born, and another one-third come from foreign-born families that speak something other than English at home,” he said. “There are many research groups at Penn that are 100 percent non-U.S. born in composition, and most of them have very high numbers of nonU.S. nationals.”

“Since all of the Vagelos MLS students work two full summers in a research group and most of three academic years part time, they have considerable exposure to the rest of the world,” Lu said.

Nursing junior Jackie Nikpour echoed Allon’s sentiment that studying abroad would be difficult given the requirements of the Nursing school. According to Nikpour, study abroad options for nurses are limited to a few main programs, the largest of which are in London

and Australia. “I went to an info session for the Australia program and it seemed like you were basically in your own separate world away from Queens University,” she said. While Nikpour said that she was sure there was a way some Nursing students had found to study abroad, it was difficult because “Nursing is really planned out from day one.”

Instead of going abroad during a semester, Nikpour said she hopes to participate in one of Penn’s Summer Abroad programs.

Despite numbers showing that very few students enrolled in Engineering or Nursing study abroad, both schools’ websites have pages devoted to study abroad experiences.

Demographic trends extend beyond just the school students are enrolled in, though. Another trend shows that more than five times the number of students who go abroad in the spring go abroad in the fall.

In the fall of 2013, Penn sent 411 students abroad, compared to

just 94 last spring. The trend has continued this semester, with 450 students abroad. Penn Abroad has not yet released its data for the number of students who will be abroad next semester.

Both students and faculty have generally attributed this trend to the combination of the fact that students do not want to miss Spring Fling and Hey Day in the spring and the fact that, in past years, the on-campus recruiting process for juniors started in the spring.

In March, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported that OCR would be moved to the fall for students in the Class of 2018 and later. The initial timeline for the change was supposed to affect the Class of 2017, but was changed when students who had planned to study abroad in the fall considered canceling their participation.

Many have predicted that numbers of students in the Class of 2018 who study abroad in the spring will be greater than in years past to reflect this change.

lot more now.

“We’ve become accustomed in this office to having an alumni interview,” he said. “When we don’t have it, we feel like we’re missing something — an element, a voice, a perspective, an insight — even if it’s just confirming what you already thought you knew, or if it’s providing a broader perspective.”

Rachel Cohen, a 2012 College graduate, is one of the alumni who provides this valuable insight. She

has conducted many interviews in the past, and is currently in charge of coordinating virtual interviews that take place around the world.

Virtual interviews are offered to students who could live anywhere, but specifically where there aren’t any Penn alumni nearby to make an in-person interview feasible. And although that might sound like it could be Thailand or Nicaragua, Cohen said one of the areas with the fewest students interviewed

in-person was actually California.

“There are large pockets that actually might surprise you,” she said.

Cohen takes on what is essentially an extra job because she’s passionate about giving back to Penn.

“I believe the future of Penn is bright and I want to be a part of making sure the best and the brightest students are admitted,” she said.

1994 Wharton graduate Terence Cooper, who also received a

Wharton MBA in 2003, is another Penn alumnus and interviewer, but he organizes interviews that happen in and around Houston, along with a couple others. He called on football metaphors to explain how the system works, saying that the different chairs “run a zone defense” to make sure every student in the Houston area gets an interview.

Cooper was interviewed when he lived in Houston and applied to Penn in 1990, but when he moved

back to Houston in the late 90s he found out that interviews were no longer conducted in the area.

“I ended up calling Penn,” he said.

Cooper said he likes being involved with the interview program because it keeps him feeling young.

“When you get older you might get jaded,” he said. “But seeing the applicants come in and they’re very ambitious and optimistic — it’s invigorating.”

like Penn and Drexel University marched on Nov. 12, from 30th Street Station to Penn’s campus in solidarity with students of color at Yale University and the University of Missouri. They demanded that the presidents of area colleges acknowledge the racism that students of color face.

“Racism has a long and terrible legacy in our country. It can take many forms, both subtle and overt.

Whatever form it takes, it is wrong.

It creates an unacceptable added

burden to the college experience of students of color and it has no place at Penn,” Gutmann wrote.

Mariano Gomes, a College of Liberal and Professional Studies junior from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, said racism doesn’t bother him much, though he knows racism is alive and well.

“We cannot deny that racist people exist,” he said.

He pointed out that many Africans experience double racism in the U.S. from both black and white

Americans, and that he has dealt with racism in the U.S., but not at Penn. He wants Penn’s administration to continuously engage the University in discussions about race because pretending that they don’t exist worsens the situation.

“Everyone’s perspective is valuable in this conversation,” he said.

Jazmyne Simmons, a College senior who identifies as black, voiced a similar thought.

“Penn administration should acknowledge that there are racial

issues on campus and on the national level,” Simmons said.

She explained that her genuine desire to learn about other people led her to immerse herself in diverse circles at Penn since her freshman year. But both her architecture major and her soccer team include very few people of color, she said.

“I am very aware of my race in these circles, but I’ve gotten to know the human race better as a whole, and I’ve learned more

about myself in the process,” she said.

She added that a white faculty member mentored her during tough times.

Glen Casey, a College junior and a black student, said he has experienced microaggressions on Penn campus, which he describes as racist statements, interactions or reactions. He noted that sometimes Penn staffers question his presence in certain buildings and insist on seeing his PennCard.

Penn engineer named one of 12 Mitchell Scholars Carla Winter will study in Ireland after graduation LYNNA YE Contributing Reporter

The number of prestigious scholarships awarded to Penn students this year continues to increase.

Following the announcement of two Rhodes Scholars at Penn, Engineering senior Carla Winter was named one of 12 Mitchell Scholars last Saturday along with fellow Quaker Phillip Cohen, a third-year medical student.

Selected from 284 applicants

from Penn President Amy Gutmann, Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli and Provost Vincent Price to be critical.

On Monday, Rush and others from the DPS team traveled to Washington D.C. to receive the award at the annual Security 500 Conference. At the conference, Rush and her team received particular praise for their Bait Bike program — which sets up bikes with GPS devices to catch bike burglars — as an example of DPS’ cutting-edge work.

Penn and DPS’ work over the September papal visit also received praise from the magazine’s editor-in-chief. Ritchey talked about the effective collaboration that occurred between DPS and Philadelphia Police, especially in ensuring hospital access and business supply delivery routes.

The rankings are determined from data supplied directly by the organizations included in the list, and also obtained from public resources and records, according to Security Magazine. Security

by the U.S.-Ireland Alliance, each Mitchell Scholar is given the opportunity to have one year of post-graduate study at an institution of higher learning in Ireland. Winter, who is majoring in bioengineering with minors in mathematics and biophysics, will be studying for a master’s degree in regenerative medicine at the National University of Ireland Galway, which is ranked among the top two percent of universities in the world.

“In the past I’ve had the great experiences of conducting research at Penn, outside of Penn and previously at Cambridge, and

programs are broken down by sectors and individual programs are ranked accordingly. Penn was joined in the top three in the “Higher Education” category by its West Philadelphia neighbor, Drexel. At an open hearing on accreditation earlier in the month, several members of the Drexel Public Safety team mentioned that DPS and Rush were instrumental in the founding, development and success of Drexel’s Public Safety program.

The praise for her department comes on the heels of an individual award Rush won this September when she was named one of Security Magazine’s “Most Influential People in Security in 2015.” Rush gave credit to her entire staff for the award, saying “although it’s my name, the whole team really won.”

Whether they be with school administrators like Gutmann and Price, colleagues like Drexel or public safety partners like AlliedBarton, DPS’s continued success seems to stem form Rush’s slogan, “It’s all about relationships.”

I thought being able to research and study at different places can give me a different perspective on the problem I’m trying to solve,” Winter said, who is focusing on neuroengineering and the regeneration of the central and peripheral nervous systems in particular.

“There’s one lab in particular that kept coming up in my literature reviews that was out of Galway, so that really turned my interest into pursuing research at Galway in particular because it has a regenerative medicine institute, which really aligns with my research and academic interests,”

she added.

Although the Mitchell Scholarship is a relatively young program compared to the more well-known Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships, the selection progress is just as rigorous.

After submitting her application, Winter had a Skype interview as a semifinalist, another interview in Washington D.C. as one of 20 finalists and was finally chosen by a selection committee made up of a CEO, a former governor, an acclaimed director, a law professor and other distinguished individuals.

Named after George J.

Mitchell, who was a United States senator from Maine and contributed to the Northern Ireland peace process as the U.S. special envoy for Northern Ireland under President Bill Clinton, the Mitchell Scholarship seeks to introduce future American leaders to the island of Ireland and promote intellectual achievement, leadership and public service.

“What I’m most looking forward to is being in Ireland and experiencing a culture I’ve never been exposed to before and also being in the community of Mitchell Scholars,” Winter said. “I think that’s a very important and

special part of this program that you are in this c o m m u n it y of 12 scholars and you’re CARLA WINTER really able to Named a learn from Mitchell scholar each other.

The scholars range from all different academic interests, from history and medieval art to medicine to economics, so we would really be able to learn from our peers as well as Ireland itself.”

fter three months of deliberation, Penn administrators have agreed to take substantial steps forward in making Penn a healthier campus. In honor of Thanksgiving, we commend them.

In September, the HamlettReed Initiative called on Penn to address prevalent mental health issues on campus. In the past two years, seven Penn students have died by suicide, and countless others face depression and loneliness. The National College Health Assessment reports that almost a third of college students have felt “so depressed they were unable to function” at some point in the last 12 months. We mask these feelings with the “Penn Face.”

We requested six specific reforms to make a tangible impact on mental wellness at Penn: designated wellness counselors; online scheduling of Counseling and Psychological Services visits; the ability for students to schedule anonymous CAPS visits; proactive communication regarding mental health issues on campus; an external review of CAPS best

KATE JEON Design Editor

Guest Column By The Hamlett-Reed Mental Health Initiative practices, especially regarding student-athletes; and a New Student Orientation event to discuss mental health and introduce students to CAPS. Our recommendations generated a broad consensus on campus. Student leaders joined with the family members of students who have died by suicide to call for immediate reform.

To date, our letter has been signed by almost a dozen individuals whose families have been personally impacted by suicide, along with the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Class Board presidents, the president of The Daily Pennsylvanian, the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic chairpersons, the presidents of the six major mental health groups on campus, along with the chairperson of Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation and the Penn Association for Gender Equity.

Our unity in calling for specific changes had an impact.

Following our Silent March for Mental Health in September, student leaders met with administrators including the Vice Provost for University Life,

and agreed to a framework for reform. In early November, administrators informed us that the following changes will be made in accordance with our recommendations.

Designated Counselors Penn will appoint approximately 50 wellness partners to serve as a resource for students.

In the spring, VPUL will select additional student wellness partners to join this program.

We originally called for students to be assigned a wellness counselor on PennInTouch so they know exactly who to reach out to for support. Nonetheless, this is a major step forward for students on campus. It creates a strong new resource for students in need of help in the form of more accessible advice.

Online Scheduling We called on Penn to allow students to schedule CAPS visits online. Many students have said that calling CAPS feels uncomfortable because of the stigma around mental health. Many students want to call but end up choosing not to do so. Administrators agreed

to set up an online scheduler for triage calls (initial consultations), which is now available at https://uapps.vpul.upenn. edu/capsform/. This eliminates a substantial barrier to entry for students seeking to engage with CAPS. Anonymous Visits to CAPS Administrators rejected this recommendation. We think the Wellness Partners program sufficiently meets the need described here, which is to provide an alternative resource to students who feel that privacy issues are a barrier to seeking help from a CAPS clinician.

Proactive, Ongoing Communication The administration needs to be more forthcoming about communicating with students about the resources that are available to them. Many students suffering from mental health issues simply do not know whom to turn to. We think the most effective avenue of communication for this information would be via email.

Administrators are not yet ready to make progress here.

CAPS Best Practices We asked administrators to review and report on the policies and practices of CAPS so that students can understand how CAPS works. Specifically, we called on administrators to review students leave policies and investigate how CAPS engages with students who face distinct stress factors, such as those abusing drugs, members of minority communities and student-athletes. The Jed Clinton Campus Advisory Group has spent this semester evaluating work issues and priorities for mental health at Penn.

We look forward to receiving a transparent report of their findings soon.

NSO Event It is important that new students be exposed to CAPS in a personalized way to help reduce the stigma around seeking help. For this reason, we believe Penn should host an NSO event introducing the CAPS staff and humanizing the organization. The administration has agreed to implement of “virtual” tour,

introducing CAPS staff and the CAPS facility. We believe that students will react more strongly to a personal interaction with CAPS and know that there is plenty of time for such an event during NSO. Still, this virtual tour is a step forward. It will help students feel more comfortable with the CAPS team and the services they provide.

There is still much to be done on campus. Students need to fight the stigma around mental health. We need to create a culture where it is okay to seek help and where students can be comfortable being vulnerable.

As the administration makes more resources available, it is up to the students to take advantage of them. From both a student and administrative perspective, the path forward is a long one.

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Penn administrators. Not only do Penn’s leaders recognize the importance of combating mental health issues on campus, but they have now also taken a number of significant steps forward to address this issue.

I

don’t get why, as Americans, we have become so terrified of people speaking their minds simply because it may offend someone.

This country has allowed us — all of us — to live our lives generally any way we want. I am sure someone is reading this and commenting that America is not perfect, that there are oppressed and repressed members of our society or that opportunity is not shared equally in this nation. While those things may well all be true, the fact remains that we live in a country where you have the freedom to make that very point as publically and loudly as you like. Our lives are not dictated by a tyrannical leader or an extremist sect that will immolate you, behead you or even parade your lifeless body in a cage simply because you do not share their view of the

world. And to be clear, that is a very, very good thing.

However, I fear that we are starting down a road of figurative immolation in this country that is just as dangerous. Any time anyone says anything that is controversial or deemed unacceptable by any particular group, that person is hoisted on a petard via internet shaming, mass protests, calls for the person to be fired, thrown out of the particular group or otherwise punished. We seem to exist in a world where political correctness and the desire to ensure that each person’s “safe space” is not threatened trumps freedom of speech and expression.

And to be clear, that is a very, very bad thing.

The freedom of speech and expression is crucial to ensure that minority voices are not silenced and that a multitude of viewpoints, a diversity of ideas and a

melting pot of experiences are circulating in this nation. Some of those views will be racist, homophobic, misogynistic, Islamophobic

Islamic rhetoric, and thus, degrade the university’s “safe space.” Ignoring entirely whether or not people have the right to remember

Open discussion of viewpoints provides opportunity to engage in a national discourse on difficult issues.” or just plain evil. As repugnant as they may be, we cannot forget that these voices are equally important to the healthy functioning of free and open society.

Open discussion of viewpoints provides opportunity to engage in a national discourse on difficult issues.

By way of example, the undergraduate student government at the University of Minnesota rejected a 9/11 remembrance ceremony because it could elicit anti-

and memorialize the Americans that lost their lives on that fateful day, the focus on ensuring a “safe space” robbed the university community of any possibility for a dialogue on this issue.

Had anti-Islamic rhetoric bubbled up publically rather than simply simmered under the surface, it could be confronted and discussed. For example, I am sure only a small percentage of Americans understand that the Islamic ex-

tremist threat in Iraq, Syria, the Levant, the Horn of Africa and Nigeria, stems from radically fundamentalist sects of Islam, such as Wahhabism and Salafi Jihadism. Furthermore, most Americans are ignorant to the fact that the Muslim world is responsible for creating algebra while Europe languished in the dark ages. Could this discourse have changed the mind of someone who harbored a hatred, dislike or distrust of Muslims? We will never know because the discussion never took place. We were more focused on the perception that all was well than confronting the reality that it is not.

We have become so overly concerned with being politically correct and about avoiding offending anyone that we are unable to actually have a free and open conversation. I believe we are at war with the evils

we face in society as well as the evils we face abroad.

We should be at war with racism. We should be at war with prejudice of religion and of people of different genders. We should be at war with hatred itself.

Unfortunately, a war requires confrontations, and those are never comfortable. They are never safe, and they are messy. But ultimately, they are how change occurs. Without moments that challenge our beliefs, without having to defend everything that you hold to be true, we will be forever imprisoned in this dreadful perception of reality that we find ourselves in today.

Profs behind #WeAreYale protests linked to Penn The Christakis’ received multiple degrees from Penn MITCHELL CHAN Staff Reporter

The Yale University faculty masters whose words sparked the #WeAreYale movement have intimate ties to Penn.

Before becoming residential faculty masters of Yale’s Silliman College, professor Nicholas Christakis and his wife Erika Christakis were educated at Penn.

Nicholas Christakis, a renowned sociologist and physician, completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Health System in 1991. He then began his graduate studies in sociology, earning a master’s degree from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1992 and a doctorate in 1995.

Meanwhile, Erika Christakis, a childhood education and pedagogy expert, earned one of her three master’s degrees from the Annenberg School for Communication in

1993.

The couple made headlines early this month when Erika Christakis sent an email criticizing top-down guidelines from Yale administrators discouraging culturally-appropriated Halloween costumes. The email sparked enormous controversy, with many Yale students calling for the couple’s dismissal and removal from Yale’s campus. Videos of emotionally-charged students addressing Nicholas Christakis, who has so-far stood by his wife, in the Silliman courtyard quickly went viral.

The incident was one of several recent cases of perceived racial and cultural insensitivity on college campuses that prompted demonstrations at universities nationwide, including a march in University City led by Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation and other Penn student groups.

Nicholas Christakis, who taught at the University of Chicago and Harvard University before joining Yale’s faculty in 2013, was already

breaking ground as a researcher during his time as a Penn student.

In 1991, he was selected for the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program from Penn, where he worked under nowretired sociology professor Renee Fox. Two years later, Christakis received a National Institute of Health fellowship for research in both Penn Med’s Division of General Internal Medicine and Penn’s sociology department, according to his curriculum vitae.

One of his projects from these years examined how doctors’ biases influence the exact medical procedures they follow when they decide to take a patient off life support. Christakis conducted the study, published in September 1993, with bioethicist and Penn professor David Asch, who teaches in Wharton’s Health Care Management Department.

“Physicians are making decisions in many cases that seem to reflect their own personal views about things that are largely irrelevant to the case at hand,” Asch

told the Philadelphia Inquirer of his and Christakis’ research in 1993.

Since graduating from Penn, Christakis has returned several times to give various academic presentations, according to his curriculum vitae. In 1999, he gave a talk on physician anxiety as part of a conference honoring his mentor, Fox. The following year, he gave another talk titled “Death Foretold: Prophecy and Prognosis in Medical Care” at Penn Med’s Leonard Davis Institute on Locust Walk.

More recently, he spoke at the Annenberg School in 2010 about the role of social networks in understanding healthcare and in 2012 at an event titled “Social Network Structure and Function Across Space and Time” as part of the Penn Sociology Colloquium Series, according to the Annenberg School and Sociology Department’s websites.

Neither Nicholas nor Erika Christakis could be reached for comment by press time.

Penn Hillel elects new 15-person board for upcoming year The majority of the new board is women ALIZA OHNOUNA Staff Reporter

At around 4:00 p.m. on Nov. 20, Penn Hillel sent an email to its listserv subscribers announcing its executive board for the spring 2016 semester. But not every member of the upcoming executive board received the news at the same time.

Three of the 15 incoming board members are abroad. President and College junior Katie Hartman, currently studying in Israel, is Hillel’s first president to be elected from abroad. Incoming Vice President and College junior Sophie Ranen, and Israel

sector chair and College junior Avi Colonomos, are studying in Brazil and Hungary, respectively.

Hartman, who is a member of Sigma Delta Tau and a former 34th Street writer, is also the first woman elected to be president since 2010.

Hartman hopes to continue the trailblazing that has surrounded her election.

“Some people don’t have what they need Jewishly at Hillel right now,” Hartman said. She described many of these people as her friends and cited that there are “a ton of Jewish students at Penn” who have a false impression of Hillel. She added that she hopes to show them that there is “so much Hillel could offer to them,” in the form of a community with a

wonderful staff.

Hartman intends to expand Hillel’s community by first understanding students’ needs.

She plans to hold office hours when she returns next semester for students to share with her what they’d like to see more of in Hillel. Hartman also plans to bring more Jews of varying backgrounds together through “more social justice opportunities,” she said.

Her vision for greater inclusion is shared by other incoming board members. College sophomore and incoming Social Chair Nicolette Almer said she wants “people to see Hillel as a home.”

She plans to organize a master list of students in all classes to arrange study groups, initiate Cafe

Hillel, a makeshift coffee bar in the Berkowitz Lounge for people to schmooze and study, and — along with Ranen — create a mentoring program between upperclassmen and underclassmen.

“I want social [activity] to be the SPEC of Hillel,” she said, adding that she hopes to create a vehicle for students get in the building and from there feel comfortable participating in other available programming, namely religious life.

Ranen said she looks forward to “implementing pluralistic programs to welcome all types of Jews.”

Her goals will likely be realized with the help of College freshman and incoming education chair Elana Burack. Burack

recognizes that many Jewish students feel culturally Jewish as opposed to religiously Jewish and aims to “incorporate [educational programs] that people don’t turn to Judaism for normally.”

Burack said that she plans to host events exploring how Judaism views self-esteem, to offer a new perspective on Penn Face and other wellness related Penn issues. She’d like to get a dialogue started among various students about universally Jewish issues — like their grandmother’s traditional recipes — and using those links as a portal into deeper learning.

She also looks forward to organizing speaker events between Hillel staff and the faculty of the Religious Studies Department — University Chaplain Chaz Howard may be on the roster Burack said.

All of the board’s events

will be publicized by Engineering sophomore Maddie Gelfand, communications cochair specializing in design, and by College sophomore Zoe Stoller, communications co-chair specializing in social media.

Other members of the predominantly female board include holiday chair and College junior Rachel Freilich, Israel programming chair and College junior Zach Nessel, Shabbat chairs and College freshmen Elisheva Blas and Avital Stein, Tzedek social justice chairs and College juniors Dorothy Newman and Rebecca Pritzker and welcoming chairs and College freshmen Talia Seder and Jeremy Wilson.

Hartman has high hopes for the incoming board and Hillel’s next year of leadership.

Hillel is comprised of Penn students, she said. “Penn students have a lot in common.”

FOREMAN >> PAGE 10

N.J., native received very little interest from Division I schools in his recruitment out of Pitman High School and chose Penn after then-coach Jerome Allen reached out to him in Spring 2014.

Due to injuries and players leaving the program, Foreman — along with the rest of his freshman class — found plentiful playing time, earning over 20 minutes per game in his first year. Although his inexperience was apparent at times, his admittance that he made a lot of mistakes has helped him grow

from those same miscues.

But his personality shined brighter, even in tough moments for the Red and Blue. Before playing their final game under Allen — who was forced to resign at the end of last season — the entire team donned No. 53 T-shirts to honor their coach. Allen said after the game that it was Foreman who organized the gesture, although Foreman humbly demurred that it was a group effort.

“We just wanted to commemorate him going here, being a great influence on us, recruiting us to come here, so we wanted to thank him for that,” he added.

According to Darnell, Allen

Darnell Foreman has been notably vocal in practice since joining the team last year and was looked upon by Donahue to lead early on.

SPORTS 7

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2015 had a “major impact” on Foreman and the team, teaching them a lot. Foreman has even remained in contact with Allen into this season. But with their former coach gone, this summer meant a big transition for the remaining players in the program.

Yet, based on Betley and Rothschild’s anecdotes alone, Foreman has kept moving forward, trying to bring his game to another level.

Within a new system that demands decision-making by playing percentages, Foreman has adjusted through his usual method: Practice. Each day before practice, he is visible working on a different part of his game, most often his three-point shooting. He’s also tried his hand at the ball-in-each-hand dribbling drill that Stephen Curry has made famous, although he hasn’t mastered it quite like the NBA’s Most Valuable Player.

While Foreman can handle the ball, when you ask any person in the program what stands out about the sophomore, it’s his personality. Beyond his skill set on the court, the Jersey native brings a vibrancy that impacts everyone around him, to the point that it’s infectious among his teammates.

“It was amazing over the spring and summer [when] you need some of the guys to come in and play pick-up and his ability to pick up his phone and have 10-15 guys here in an hour,” coach Steve Donahue said. “I think that’s the thing about Darnell that’s so valuable to our program.”

Combined with Donahue’s new system, a strong incoming recruiting class that included multiple guards meant that Foreman had to earn his playing time all over again this year. Donahue stressed Darnell’s need for consistency with the ball and in making jumpers. While senior guard Tony Hicks left the program, fellow senior Jamal Lewis returned, meaning the backcourt was just as packed and full of competition, off of which Foreman thrives.

“That grit, that competitiveness, that’s one thing [Donahue] preaches, so I think I’m perfect to try and embrace that to the team,” Foreman said before the season

After playing significant minutes as a freshman, Darnell Foreman has had to battle for playing time as a sophomore. The Camden, N.J., native has come off the bench this season, playing 19.7 minutes per game.

began.

So how has Foreman stuck in the Quakers’ rotation this year?

It all starts with his tenacity on defense. The sophomore continues to take on the role as one of Penn’s primary on-ball defenders, using his wingspan to befuddle opposing guards.

This was especially apparent in the Red and Blue’s second game of the year against Central Connecticut State. Foreman came off the bench early in the second half and was part of a lineup that held the Blue Devils to four points while scoring 19 as a unit.

That five-minute stretch was essential to the 77-61 Penn victory.

Foreman has also improved offensively this year, averaging over six points per contest. He is third on the team with 2.2 assists per game. Yet his numbers, as one might expect, aren’t a big deal to the sophomore, who couldn’t help mentioning the team when asked about his individual expectations.

Instead, he continues to try to help the team get better, whether it’s in a sweat-soaked Palestra at night in the middle of summer or at practice in season.

“Me being a sophomore now, I’ve realized that every time, every minute on the court is

WE’D LOVE TO MEET YOU.

very special,” he said. “I try to play practice like it’s a game. ...

The same things that you see in practice are going to happen so if you make practice very much

game-like, it will translate.”

If Foreman’s role from practice continues to translate onto the court, his impact on the team may be immeasurable.

THOMAS MUNSON | ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

On the court, Darnell Foreman has been looked upon more for his defense than offense, utilizing his wingspan to stifle opposing players.

LAFAYETTE 92 86 PENN

PENN 80 64 LA SALLE

Nelson-Henry’s career night gets Penn Big 5 win M. HOOPS | Quakers fall

Blue — marked the fifth time in as many games in 2015-16 that the Kirkland, Wash., native scored over 10 points. While the veteran continued that trend against Lafayette on Sunday, Penn was unable to maintain its momentum from earlier in the week, falling to the Leopards on the road, 92-86. “It feels amazing. It’s the first time I’ve beat La Salle, and I want to keep it going,� Nelson-Henry said after Wednesday’s win. “We played well tonight, and there’s no reason we can’t continue this.�

The victory for Penn (4-2) came a few days after a 37-point drubbing in Nelson-Henry’s home state, a game in which the Quakers struggled out of the gate before falling to Washington, 104-67. And at the beginning of the Red and Blue’s midweek matchup with the Explorers (4-1), it seemed like the trend may continue.

Forced to contain forward Jordan Price, who entered the contest averaging over 29 points per game, Penn held serve early before falling behind, 30-20, shortly before halftime. Following a timeout, the

Darien Nelson-Henry streaked down the lane on an out-of-bounds play late in the second half on Wednesday.

Surveying the court, sophomore guard Antonio Woods saw nothing impeding the senior center’s path to the basket. Woods hit Nelson-Henry with the pass. Slammed home. And the foul.

The free throw following the dunk with 7:09 remaining gave Nelson-Henry his 31st point of the day, a career high. It also gave Penn basketball a double-digit lead it would not relinquish the rest of the evening, helping the Quakers clinch their first Big 5 win of Steve Donahue’s tenure with an 80-64 victory over La Salle.

Nelson-Henry’s dominant effort — he added a career-best 14 rebounds to go along with his first 30-point game with the Red and

Quakers managed to stymie La Salle’s offense, while a Matt Howard triple and three consecutive buckets from Nelson-Henry allowed the squad to enter the break only down 32-29. “You can’t close a lead like that if you don’t get stops. I think defense is what got us back into it,� NelsonHenry said. “I thought the first half was the key. For us, as we grow as a program, when you don’t play well against a good team like La Salle, but you hang around, and you cut a 10-point deficit to three before halftime, I thought that was a big example of our growth,� Donahue added.

While Penn hit only one of its eight three-point attempts in the first period, the squad allowed its offense to run primarily through the senior center after the break. As NelsonHenry shattered his previous career highs in points and rebounds — including a run in which he scored 22 of the Quakers’ 28 points — he also was able to get the team’s shooters more open looks.

“I know that we have great shooters on our team and opponents want to take that away from us,� NelsonHenry said. “So I just want to do what I can down low to help them out on the outside.�

Led by sophomore Sam Jones’ four treys, the Red and Blue converted seven of their 13 attempts from beyond the arc in the second half, allowing the Quakers to outscore the Explorers in the frame, 51-32. “I don’t think any of us played up to our potential in the Washington game, and, coming in, I wanted to make a point out of showing what we’re capable of,� Nelson-Henry said. “And I think we did.�

While Penn may have responded after laying an egg against the Huskies, the squad failed to maintain that momentum to conclude its Thanksgiving break slate. Facing off with former Red and Blue assistant Fran O’Hanlon in Easton, Pa., the Quakers struggled to contain the Leopards offense, allowing Lafayette to hit over 52 percent of its shots.

Though Nelson-Henry added

Senior center Darien Nelson-Henry continued his scalding start to the season, scoring a combined 53 points in two games last week.

another 20 points and nine boards, Penn missed 19 of its 26 threes.

Howard, Jones, Woods and senior Jamal Lewis all scored in double figures, but it was not enough to

avenge last season’s 83-77 loss to the Leopards.

With Colorado State down 49- 48 a nd eight seconds

The Quakers (4-1) came from behind to hand Colorado State (5-1) its first loss of the season as the Rams held a 12-point advantage midway through the third quarter.

The win was the 498th for coach Mike McLaughlin, who narrows in on 500 career wins

as a collegiate head coach.

McLaughlin is 91-88 with the Quakers, who he has brought from a two-win team in his first season to back-to-back 20-win seasons in the past two years.

The Red and Blue started out the game relatively strong, holding even with Colorado State through the first quarter and coming out of the opening period with a two-point edge, 17-15. The Quakers limited the Rams offense on most plays, but gave up 10 second-chance points in the period as Colorado State collected eight offensive rebounds.

D efensive rebounding was an issue for the Quakers

throughout the game, as the Rams recorded 18 offensive rebounds and owned the rebounding margin, 47 to 39. The extra offensive possessions allowed Colorado State to stay in the game despite shooting just 27.1 percent from the field.

While Colorado State only made seven of their 31 shots from beyond the arc, quick spurts of hot shooting helped them nearly separate from the Quakers on a few occasions.

The first came midway through the first quarter when three long balls in a two-and-a-halfminute span brought the team out to a 13-10 lead. The second came at the beginning of the

second quarter, when a trio of three pointers staked the Rams to a seven-point lead.

Colorado State’s real run came in the third quarter, though, as a 9-2 run out of the gate brought the team to a 12point lead with just over 16 minutes to play. Penn wasn’t finished, however, as Stipanovich scored the next four points, followed by a Brzozowski threepointer to bring Penn’s deficit to just five.

In the end, sophomore forward Michelle Nwokedi came through with consistent offense in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 of her 25 points to close out the game.

Nwokedi scored 10 of the last 12 points for the Quakers as the team locked down defensively to hold Colorado State to just six points in the final period.

Stipanovich finished the game with a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double, along with four blocks to help pace the Quakers. The junior center became the program’s all-time leader in blocks with her second swat of the game, and finished the game with 197 on her career — three more than longtime leader Katarina Poulsen.

For Colorado State, forward Keyora Wharry — the only Rams player to score in double-digits — led the way with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Wharry has been the team’s leading scorer this season with 10.8 points per game.

In the end, it was a gritty, defensively-minded win for the Quakers, who have made that commonplace during the McLaughlin era. Penn didn’t lead for a 25-minute span during the middle of the game, but made the plays they needed to at the end of the game to secure the victory.

After playing five games during the first 11 days of the season, Penn now waits until Dec. 5 to host Navy at the Palestra.

LEADING BY EX AMPLE FOREMAN | Sophomore guard

leading by example in practice STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Reporter

This summer, after a long day as counselors for Penn basketball’s summer camp, the program’s student-athletes were ready to turn in for the evening. But now-sophomore Darnell Foreman had other plans.

“It’s like 10 p.m., [and he says], ‘Who wants to go shoot?’” freshman forward

Max Rothschild said. “I’m like, ‘No way.

Not right now. Go shoot? What?’ Then we walk back to the place we were staying and it’s like 11:30, almost midnight, and he’s like, ‘I’m gonna go.’”

After a small speech from Foreman, Rothschild and the others quickly got the message, and left to shoot around at the boiling hot Palestra in the midst of summer.

“I knew what he was trying to do,” Rothschild said. “It wasn’t like him trying to scare us freshmen, but it was really more influential and inspiring to see him want to go shoot at midnight at the Palestra.”

For those in the program, this action doesn’t come out of the ordinary from the hard-working guard. Despite his status as a freshman, Foreman was a consistent voice at practices last season, taking a leadership role he’s assumed for every team he’s been on since middle school.

A sterling example came in early May when Quakers’ recruit Ryan Betley was getting ready for a workout at the Palestra during his official visit. Foreman told Betley to show up at 3:00 p.m., but the recruit arrived half an hour early.

When Betley got there, Foreman was

already in the gym, steadily working on his game by his lonesome.

“Even in the little scrimmages we had there that day, he was definitely the one who was going hard, coaching me, helping give me tips while I was playing,” Betley said. “He just seem[ed] like he would be a great teammate to have, someone who wants to win at all costs.”

While Foreman takes a leadership role on the court, he stepped up his game as soon as he arrived on campus. The Camden, SEE FOREMAN PAGE 7
