Despite its sport's unconventional naturein comparison to its varsity counterparts, Penn club tennis has encountered plenty of success on the court, and will compete at this season's national championships.

There's a team from Penn competing for a national championship this weekend. But nobody would be surprised if you didn't know that. While a variety of the University's perennial varsity teams are in the midst of quests for Ivy League titles and bids to their sport's respective end-of-season tournaments, Penn club tennis will take part in the United States Tennis Association's Tennis on Campus National Championship in Cary, N.C., beginning on Thursday. Competing against teams from 63 other schools from across the nation, the Quakers are accustomed to the pressurized environment that accompanies playing at nationals, having qualified for the tournament in each of the past four seasons.

3,100 students were accepted to the University of Florida on the condition that their first year is spent taking online classes, a catch not made known to them at the time they were applying.  The online class requirement is part of a new program called Pathway to Campus Enrollment-also knows as PaCE- which he says allows the school "to offer admission to additional qualified applicants with academic potential and demonstrated success." As part of the program, students may move to on-campus courses after completing two semesters of classes online.   UF expects less than 10 percent of students to accept the offer and an even smaller amount to go on to become on-campus students.  Read more at the Washington Post.

Drexel law professor Lisa McElroy is being investigated after sending her students a link that directed students to a pornographic video, Philly.com reports.  The email, sent on March 31, had the subject "great article on writing briefs" and included a link that led to a clip of "a woman engaging in a sexuality explicit act." Drexel released a statement in which it explained it was required to investigate reports of any behavior of sexual nature that could impacts members of its community. 


I have lived most of my life feeling a constant dissonance between myself and my peers and within myself. That dissonance is home to me. It’s where I find growth, challenge, kindred spirits grappling with their own identity crises. When I reflect back on my time at Penn, I am deeply grateful for that dissonance.
