“At your age, we were able to buy an apartment,” some aunt or uncle tells you. They graduated college twenty, thirty years ago, and got a job afterwards. Perhaps they have even graduated from the same university as you yourself.

As one of the earliest Indian American M.D.-Ph.D. graduates from the Perelman School of Medicine, I intently watched Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with professor Amy Wax, the Robert Mundheim Professor of Law at Penn Law School.

Are you part of the inglorious 60% of American adults who believe in soulmates? Or do you, perhaps, entertain the idea that what people call love is "just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed"? The electrified dance between mysticism and scientific materialist reductionism has left but one actor agonized in boredom: It’s time for a philosophy dance.
Interim Penn President Wendell Pritchett comes "full circle" each morning as he climbs the steps of College Hall — the same building where he earned his Ph.D. in history almost 30 years ago.
Change is frequently daunting. Like many students at Penn, I distinctly remember the collective chaos that ensued throughout American educational institutions following the switch to virtual learning at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, students find themselves trapped in a similarly nerve-racking scenario: deciding whether to continue masking up in light of the University's new mask-optional policy.
