I heard with some consternation that the selection of Geoffrey Canada as commencement speaker was met with some surprise and not a small amount of disappointment on campus. “Who’s that?” seemed to be a common refrain. The man Michelle Obama calls her “personal hero,” the man Mayor Bloomberg hails as “the greatest living New Yorker”?
My Seussical reawakening began when I went to see the new film adaptation of the 1971 classic The Lorax.
Candidates should be judged for how well we think they’ll handle the unpredictable
If you witness a heart attack, you just have to do two simple things. First, call 911. Then, push hard and fast in the middle of the person’s chest.
Home is comfortable and secure — the easy option.But choosing what’s easy can be scary in its own right. If New York is too foreign, San Jose almost feels too familiar.
It’s been almost a year since I, along with other regular decision applicants, got into Penn. Even though March 30, 2011 seems like a while ago, I try to remind myself how fortunate I am to be at Penn.

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, refers to the social anxiety students may feel from missing an event, falling behind or tumbling into social bankruptcy.
I am writing to ask you to repudiate publicly your book Body Count and accept responsibility for your contribution to the sort of racist climate that enables grown men to think that they are acting in self-defense when they gun down black male youths in cold blood.
Trayvon Martin is not dead — his memory is giving life to a powerful movement. And in his spirit, I’m asking this community to join the Million Hoodie March today at 5 p.m. in front of Du Bois College House as we march toward Love Park in protest.
One could argue that Mad Men’s boost between seasons was owed as much to investment as it was to buzz.
College sophomore Dan Bernick and College and Wharton sophomore Abe Sutton have the qualities to lead the UA as President and Vice President respectively.
I do not just have big ideas for the UA. I also have a track record of tangible accomplishments that proves how effective leaders can make a positive impact on student life.
You want a leader who puts projects before politics. A leader who places your needs above his own. I am the only candidate who is qualified to give the UA a fresh start and who has the credibility to refocus the UA on serving students.
I have held more leadership positions on the UA than either of my opponents, have been a part of multiple communities and have managed to steer clear of student government politicism, maintaining my credibility.
Experience has taught me that major projects at Penn take time. The fact that I am a sophomore means that I still have two years of advocacy ahead of me and that I will not be forced to back down at the end of the academic year.

When I sat down to chat with Dan Savage on Monday, he readily admitted that he can be quite inflammatory — but said that his strategy doesn’t obscure the bigger picture of fighting for LGBT equality.
The easiest thing to do when a campaign like KONY 2012 is brought to our attention is to pick apart everything that’s wrong with it. KONY isn’t perfect and its creator, Jason Russell certainly isn’t either — but neither is a world in which every day, children are kidnapped, sexually assaulted and forced to murder their parents.
At first, it was impossible not to be disappointed with what happened. Everyone I talked to told me that I would learn from this experience.
The study of creativity is relatively new. As students, we have the advantage of entering the workforce with more information about our creative tools than any generation before.
