This past weekend, over a hundred LGBTQ youth and allies from all over the state convened on Penn’s campus for the three-day Pennsylvania Youth Action Conference.

The two-day conference included presentations from high school students, philosophy graduate students and professors of philosophy on a wide range of topics, such as science, ethics and social issues.

On Thursday and Friday, the Wharton School held its third annual People Analytics Conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia.

The Quakers fell on the road, 6-1, to No. 50 Harvard and 4-0 to No. 38 Dartmouth.

It involved a lot of late-inning action, but Penn baseball walked away with the weekend split against Dartmouth and Harvard, losing the first game in back-to-back doubleheaders before taking the second.

On Saturday, despite unseasonably cold temperatures and the steady fall of snow on Franklin Field, the Bears refused to hibernate.

For a few, sunny hours on Franklin Field, Penn football was back on Sunday. Capping off spring practices for the Quakers, the two-hour Spring Game gave alumni and students a glimpse of what the Red and Blue would look like once their quest to defend the Ivy title begins in September. “We don’t get to play many games so coming out here, even if it’s our own players, going aggressive and being able to tackle, it’s awesome for us,” junior quarterback Alek Torgersen said.

Both Penn golf teams traveled out of state to different tournaments this weekend, but only one team traveled far enough to avoid the wrath of Mother Nature.

Once again, Penn track and field was split between two meets this weekend.

In a sport where times are of the utmost importance, it makes teams easy to rank, and as a result, rankings tend to hold. For the heavyweights, that characteristic of the sport worked two ways.

Penn gymnastics finished its season not with a bang, but with a fizzle.

Coming off its first Ivy League win of the season last weekend, Penn women’s tennis hoped to build on that confidence as two ranked opponents, Harvard and Dartmouth, arrived in Philadelphia. With a 4-3 win over Harvard and a 5-2 victory against Dartmouth, the Quakers (10-7, 3-2 Ivy) did just that.

An extra-inning defeat followed by a run-rule loss. Friday and Saturday took on unfortunately similar appearances for Penn softball this weekend.

Ivy League games always pose a threat. Penn women’s lacrosse has already fallen victim to an intra-Ivy upset once this year, and coach Karin Corbett is determined to never let that happen again.

There’s been a great deal of debate over the disruption caused by activists at CIA Director John Brennan’s event on Friday.

This past week, I attended Bernie Sanders’ rally in Philadelphia, marking my first time attending a presidential campaign rally.
