In 2022, Penn men’s soccer won the Ivy League title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. There, the Quakers nearly beat Syracuse as the latter made a run to the national championship game.

(05/04/24 7:59pm)
I grew up in a neighborhood in Toronto where simply graduating high school was considered an achievement. In my community, attending a local community college was seen as a significant success. Yet, I found myself crossing international borders to attend Penn, one of the most selective institutions globally. To those I grew up with, I was the embodiment of success — the girl from Rexdale who escaped the pervasive struggles of our neighborhood.

Akiva Berkowitz | The long, winding road to mediocrity
(05/03/24 12:00am)
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.

Penn men’s lacrosse freshmen finding impact early in Quaker careers

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.
