The 2022-23 sports season has been filled with multiple Ivy League title clinches, NCAA tournament appearances, draft selections, professional contract signings, and more broken records than one can count. Talent stemming from newcomers to soon-to-be-graduates propelled Penn Athletics to a monumental year packed with unforgettable scenes. The Daily Pennsylvanian’s Sports Department brainstormed a list of the top athletes, coaches, teams, and moments across the fall, winter, and spring seasons and collectively decided on who shined the brightest. Here are the DP's End of the Year Awards from Sports:
Three weeks ago, former Penn rowing coach Ted Nash was accused of sexual abuse by filmmaker Jennifer Fox. Although Fox was never a student at Penn, her allegations fall into a larger conversation about sexual assault and institutional complacency at Penn.
Penn's Resident Advisors and Graduate Resident Advisors are exercising their legal right to organize a union, a right that has been affirmed by the National Labor Relations Board. Impressively, a supermajority has signed a petition expressing their desire to unionize. As Penn faculty, we are committed to the well-being of our students and the university of which we are all a part. We affirm that unions have a legitimate place in our university, and we affirm that these student workers have the right to organize in an environment free of intimidation.
Dear Class of 2027,
A supermajority of undergraduate and graduate resident advisors filed to unionize on March 14. The move from the group of RAs, collectively called the United RAs at Penn, comes after months of organizing and a wave of unionization efforts that have been sweeping the nation, Philadelphia, and the Penn community in recent years.

One year ago, Penn football was fresh off yet another disappointing season. The 3-7 finish, highlighted by a third-straight losing record in conference play that left the Quakers at the bottom of the Ivy League, had many calling for change within the program.
Today, Nov. 8, two extremely close and pivotal elections will be held in Pennsylvania. Polls in the gubernatorial race between Democrat Josh Shapiro and Republican Doug Mastriano show Shapiro leading Mastriano by just 10 points. The Senate race, on the other hand, has Republican Mehmet Oz toe to toe with Democrat John Fetterman, with Fetterman leading by a mere 0.4 points. The gubernatorial and Senate races will be critical in shaping key issues like education policy, abortion rights, and health care policy.
On Tuesday, our community will choose their representation in the United States Senate — Democrat and Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman or Republican TV personality and medical doctor Mehmet Oz. Only one candidate, however, will best support the ideals of our community and has, for so long, remained committed to the people of Pennsylvania, even through adversity — John Fetterman.
On Nov. 8, the Penn and Philadelphia communities will head to the polls and vote for Democrat Josh Shapiro or Republican Doug Mastriano to become their next governor. But in this race, there is one clear candidate who best fits the interests of our community — Josh Shapiro.
A Daily Pennsylvanian poll found that Democrats Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro lead their Republican opponents by wide margins among Penn undergraduates in their respective races.
Tech salaries in Philadelphia increased faster than in any other city in the United States. In Penn’s yearly career survey for the Class of 2021 graduates, 14% of graduates went into tech, which trailed only financial services and consulting. All of this plus the aggressive pre-professional culture at Penn certainly make careers in tech seem incredibly enticing.
We, the undersigned faculty, are deeply concerned about the efforts of the Center for Community Standards and Accountability to deny or curtail the rights of Penn students to articulate their opinions as part of public protests on campus.
