The twelfth annual Pennsylvania Conference for Women took place on Oct. 6 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. With over 9,000 people in attendance, this year’s sold-out conference boasted the best turnout in its history.

Last week, Penn hosted the Third Annual Learning with MOOCs conference, bringing together leaders in the mass learning system.

Students who received only grants performed significantly better in college — with GPAs between 0.8 and 0.15 points higher.

Horizons School of Technology, a startup founded by Penn alumni, ran its first coding bootcamp course this summer right next to Penn’s campus.

Two weeks ago, a tropical disturbance formed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Many forecasters were aware of its formation, but few put much thought into what it may become in just a week’s time.

“When someone participates in private conversations where they talk about groping women, they are normalizing the idea that women are sexual objects” College junior Amanda Silberling said.

Trying to score against the Quakers this week? Good luck. Penn field hockey defeated Dartmouth and Temple, both in shutouts, this weekend.

This was a rough one. Fresh off an impressive 5-0 drubbing of Cornell a week ago, Penn men’s soccer was dealt a crushing double-overtime loss in their second Ivy contest Saturday, falling 2-1 to Columbia.

Within twenty-four hours, Penn volleyball played ten grueling sets in New York. But it was to no avail, as the Quakers fell in two tight matches against rivals Cornell and Columbia. “We played both matches really tough,” Coach Kerry Carr said “When it gets to the overtime set, and you’re on the road, it just gets a lot tougher.” The Quaker’s campaign began at the Newman Arena against the Big Red.

Two weeks ago I promised a disparaging NSO column. I’m lucky world events lined up so well. Like most of you, I was shocked to read about the drama in the wake of Canada’s carbon summit last week: In response to a proposed universal $10 CAD tax per ton in 2018, Nova Scotia’s minister left the building.

The University of Pennsylvania men’s soccer team started off Ivy League play with a bang yesterday, defeating rival Cornell on the road in a back-and-forth overtime affair. Right from the opening whistle, the intensity and importance of the match was on display with fouls and cards being assessed evenly to both sides.

A federal judge has ruled in favor of Penn in a recent lawsuit against a neuroscientist who died after exposure to radiation while researching at the University. The plaintiffs plan to appeal the result. 

On a day when everything else in the Ivy League went right for Penn, one moment was enough to break the spirits of women’s soccer. 

Inside the Quakers’ locker room, there was only one focus: just win. Behind three total touchdowns from quarterback Alek Torgersen and a breakout performance from defensive lineman Louis Vecchio, the Red and Blue did just that, taking control early and holding on for a 28-16 win.

The man whose name adorns one of Penn's most prominent buildings is none too pleased with Donald Trump's recent remarks about women.

In her speech, Katie McGinty focused mostly on eviscerating Republican nominee Donald Trump, a 1968 Wharton graduate.
