Penn men’s basketball resumes Ivy League competition this weekend with a doubleheader at the Palestra against Brown and Yale, hoping to maintain its hot play of late.

This year, the goal of two Ivy Championships is very much in reach. With only a week and a half until championship weekend, both the men and the women fencers are confident they can pull off the double. 

It has been five years since 2014 graduate Michael Mills won the men’s sabre competition at the NCAA Fencing Championships. And, five years later, the next chance to carry out Mills’ legacy may be his own cousin.

“Right now in Harrisburg there aren’t enough women, there aren’t enough young people, there aren’t enough people of color, and there aren’t enough working people,” O’Mara said. 

“You have people doing very large amounts of work but making what amounts in many cases to poverty level wages. They’re one emergency away from not being able to continue with work, not being able to pay their bills, being potentially evicted.”

“Penn stands as a shameful exception among the Ivies,” Penn senior Zoe Weissberg said. “This is a practice that is inexcusable in Philadelphia, which still is the poorest big city in the nation."

Three-for-one deals are never bad. That is what fencing fans get whenever they watch a match. Though a first time watcher or casual fan may have trouble noticing the differences, fencing’s three forms — sabre, epee, and foil — are all very nuanced.

Before becoming IRC's president, Miliband served as the United Kingdom foreign secretary from 2007 to 2010. At the event, Miliband explained the moral obligation to help refugees.

Coach Slava Danilov, assistant coach for the men’s and women’s fencing teams, provides a unique spark to the program. Danilov, now in his fourth year with the Quakers, is part of an excellent staff that includes head coach Andy Ma and other assistants Adi Nott and Randall LeMaster. Men’s senior epee and captain Zsombor Garzo described Danilov in one phrase. “Extremely competitive.”

Outside of Penn, he has also worked as a journalist, written two history books for general audiences, and taught modern Middle East history at several local universities. 

A sense of community, strong brotherhood and sisterhood, and the pride that comes with being a part of something bigger than yourself are all reasons students join groups at Penn. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that student-athletes highlight these reasons to not only justify their involvement with sports, but also their involvement with Greek life.

Last year, only five of Penn's 27 fraternities met the attendance requirements for new member education programming, much of which addresses sexual assault and sexual health.

The Monday session will be conducted in English and the Wednesday session in Mandarin Chinese.
