Near my home in Silver Spring, Md., there is a dark side road. It has stayed this way, free of street lights or other illumination, because residents have fastidiously worked to maintain the “foresty feel” of the area. Yet, many nights, as I’ve walked along that pitch black road to visit my friend’s house at the end, I couldn’t help but note that it was simply waiting for an accident to happen, enjoining someone to get critically injured before things could really change. Today as well, we all — members of the Penn community — are groping our way down the pitch black road of life on this shared campus and waiting for something bad to happen. Only then will administrators be able to properly light up the way before us and demonstrate the moral clarity we all so desperately need.

Entering the 2024 NCAA Fencing Championships, Penn fencing had not taken home an individual title in the men's foil in 27 years. This year’s final was different; that was guaranteed to change. Quaker seniors Bryce Louie and Blake Broszus each won their semifinal matchup, setting up a title bout that guaranteed a trophy would be coming to Philadelphia.

Leo Hoffman would have always been successful. He arrived at Penn men's lacrosse as a five-star recruit, ranked sixth in the country by Inside Lacrosse, following an intense campaign for his services by multiple schools. The freshman midfielder was a key part of the Quakers’ 2023 recruiting class, which would hopefully push Penn over the top to true national championship contention.

In December 2023, Jonathan Epstein was appointed interim executive vice president of the University of Pennsylvania Health System and dean of the Perelman School of Medicine. He assumed his role during a period of administrative transition — his appointment was announced the same day that Larry Jameson was appointed Penn's interim president, and three days after former Penn President Liz Magill resigned.

With the last day of classes tomorrow, it’s that point in the semester where burnout plagues the average university student. However, this is a problem amplified by the way that the spring semester takes its toll on us. Thanks to Penn’s breaks being much shorter than other universities in the surrounding area, we lament our early return back to campus rather than returning from winter break feeling well rested and refreshed.

Advance registration has finished, and I can confirm that I am more stressed now than I was before. I came to Penn thinking that the College of Arts and Sciences’ liberal arts curriculum would be a fun way to explore other areas outside of my major. I did not expect it to feel more like a constraint rather than the interdisciplinary, flexible arena it’s supposed to be.

The end of the spring semester is a distinct time on Penn’s campus — melding indifference, as students wait for the school year to finally pull into early summer’s lull, with a sense of haste and urgency to live more and live truly. It is remarkable that at this moment, more than 200 days into the war on Gaza, the college protests are reaching a new fever pitch — proving students have not forgotten about the war. Rather, they are urgently struggling at this moment of decision. The fate of Gazans is an existential question for them, which means it is a question for all of us, provoking the soul of our nation. This student movement is impacting national politics unlike any other since the 1960s, leading to attacks from the White House and Congress, and crackdowns from police, state troopers and university administrations.
