What's HapPENNing?

Well, well, well--Hallo-Homecoming weekend is upon us already! We don't know what scarier: that it's almost November, that we have a midterm the Monday after Halloween, or that we'll most likely find ourselves dressed up as a "sexy" cat, complete with a generic crop top and high-waisted leggings from American Apparel. In the meantime, follow along as we break down all the spooky 'n kooky festivities going on this week. 

Monday-Saturday: Political Action Week, times and locations vary

UTB may or may not be announcing its presidential campaign for 2016. 

Tuesday-Friday: Media and Entertainment Week, times and locations vary

Speakers include representatives from Nickelodeon. Does that mean Spongebob will be making an appearance?!

Tuesday: IAA Table Talks: International Law, 6 p.m., Harrison RTL

Catered by Shake Shack. Need we say more?

Wednesday: Carrying the Weight Together, all-day event across campus

This really is such a moving event that we don't have anything snarky to say about it.

Thursday-Saturday: iNtuitons Presents Opposite of Loneliness: A (Dis)Connection Project, times vary, Houston Hall

On the contrary, we've been feeling the opposite of the opposite of loneliness lately. Thankfully, we hear cuffing season is soon upon us ;) 

Thursday: Law & Order Showrunner and Producer Rene Balcer, 5 p.m., Kelly Writers House

WE'RE ONLY GOING IF THEY PLAY  THIS.

Thursday: Halloween: After Hours At The Museum, 7 p.m., Penn Museum

Get  In The Cage with one of our fave professors, Janet Monge.

PSA: HALLOWEEN IS ON FRIDAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T ALREADY AWARE.

Friday: Fossil Free Penn Rally: Spook The Trustees, 10:30 a.m., College Green

Because if trustees didn't take us seriously before, surely they will when we're dressed in varying shades of orange and black.

Friday: Networking Night At Civic House, 5:30 p.m., Civic House (in case that weren't obvious)

What's scarier than Halloween? Spending it trying to make alumni connections. 

SECOND PSA: HOMECOMING WEEKEND IS FRIDAY-SUNDAY, WHICH MEANS THERE WILL BE AN ACTUAL FOOTBALL GAME ON SATURDAY.

Said Football Game: Penn v. Brown, 1 p.m., Franklin Field

Have we won a football game before?
