Students might be away from campus over the summer — but there's been no shortage of controversies and changes in the higher education world over the last few months.

Your parents are gone, you’ve moved in, and you’re ready to get started on (arguably) the most important part of college: your social life. Let The Daily Pennsylvanian be your guide. 

Thanks to an appearance at a Penn Diplomacy and Policy Center panel, Wharton junior Kayvon Asemani received an opportunity to perform at the United Nations headquarters in New York. 

The program's greatest team in recent memory lost NCAA All-Americans Sam Mattis and Tommy Awad — as well as other star athletes — but perhaps the most notable loss came from the coaching staff that vaulted the team up to its relative success on the Ivy League and national stages in 2016. 

It only makes sense that a culture as unique as Penn's has its own lingo.

Students who break sexual violence codes will be barred from receiving academic honors, and the definition of sexual violence and harassment has been expanded. 

Along with stories of personal loss, including Sandberg’s, the book will also include research conducted by Grant.

It’s a scene right out of a classic college film or a rose-tinted admissions propaganda leaflet — a group of college students lazing around a dorm room or lounge, late at night, arguing about politics, philosophy and the meaning of life.

For most Penn students, New Student Orientation is the beginning of a yearlong journey into finding their place on campus.

Coming off of winning a share of the Ivy title in 2015, Penn football was predicted to finish second in the Ancient Eight preseason media poll this year, trailing only Harvard.

Penn men’s basketball unveiled their 2016-17 schedule Monday, and, much like the team, it will look quite a bit different than in past years. The 27-game schedule features 13 games at the Palestra, including the standard seven versus Ivy opponents.

Hillary Clinton appealed to millennial voters on Aug. 16 in a speech largely focused on democratic participation.
