Feb Club schedule changes this year

Don’t ask for this year’s full Feb Club schedule. It’s a secret.

This year, the events of Feb Club, a month of events for seniors,will be released on a weekly schedule, which the 2014 Class Board has done to leave students in suspense and keep them engaged throughout the month. Only the first week is available now.

According to senior class president and Wharton senior Spencer Penn, the event lineup will include trips to famous bars, restaurants, athletic arenas, concert halls and national landmarks.The first event is the Feb Club First Toast, which will be held at the National Constitution Center and catered by renowned chef Jean-Marie Lacroix.

While previous years have seen daily events, the senior Class Board has decided to eliminate events from Monday and Tuesday nights to offer students an opportunity to catch up on assignments.

This has allowed the Class Board to dedicate more funds and effort to the events. Collaborating with seniors for the Penn Fund, chefs Stephen Starr and Jose Garces, and others, the Class Board will subsidize events to promote accessibility to all members of the senior class.

Additionally, a PennCard swipe system — a more efficient method of tracking attendance — will replace the punch booklets of previous years. As always, students who attend all 20 events will have their names engraved on a plaque at Smokey Joe’s and receive a monogrammed zip-up.

“Time at Penn accelerates,” Penn said. “Our hope with Feb Club this year is to encourage seniors to live in the moment for this month and make the most of the time we have left at Penn.”
