I closed the door on my Penn career sitting in Huntsman Hall watching the timer as it ticked towards blinking zeros.

More information exists at your fingertips than ever before, but how much do you really know about what’s going on in the world?

This redesign is only the beginning of a renewal in our digital focus.

Last January, I assured you that this group of editors and managers would be “coming at you differently, with fresh eyes and new perspectives.”We have challenged ourselves consistently throughout the year, working to find ways to push the envelope and imbue our work and our products with a new sense of energy.

To the Class of 2018: Think about the person you want to be and use Penn (and its myriad resources) to become that person.

A billboard advertising a $25,000 reward for tips towards Don Ly's murder was unveiled today at a press conference. Ly operated a fruit salad cart at 34th and Walnut streets.

Additionally, we hope that you continue to hold us accountable as well as we try to provide engaging information that will improve your Penn experience.

We continue, as we have for 129 years before us, to commit ourselves to telling your stories, to giving you information you can use, to speaking up about the issues you care about and, most importantly, to providing a platform through which your voice — as as member of the Penn community — can be heard.
