Wait, what happened to March?! April showers are starting to roll on through as this month leaves as rudely as it arrived. (Seriously, you can't tease us with a few warm days like that.) As we apply for last-minute internships, the seniors begin their death march toward entering the real world. Sorry, 2011'ers! Anyway, what's going down at Penn this week?
Penn Fashion Week Who: Penn Fashion Week When and where: Monday-Saturday; check link for details Why: Can you pass up the chance to "put your best face forward"? We can't! While we're not anticipating any Pretty Woman- or Memoirs of a Geisha-esque changes, we hope to end this week prettier than we started it. But actually, there are some amazing events happening around campus, culminating in the DZine2Show extravaganza.
Education Week Who: SCUE When and where: Monday-Thursday; check above link and Facebook for details Why: SCUE has organized a series of lunches for Education Week, giving you the chance to engage in rousing discussions and talk to important people. Fancy, eh? Registration details appear on the website.

His new book, "Warrior Girls," is about "female athletes and their injuries." Pretty snazzy.
Generation WTF: Advice from Experts & WTFers Just Like You Who: Penn Bookstore When and where: Tuesday, 5-7 p.m.; Penn Bookstore WTF: We have absolutely no idea what this event is, but apparently it espouses the idea that WTF should redefined to stand for "wisdom, tenacity, fearlessness." Our response: WTF? At least it sounds interesting?
Peacemaking Through the Arts Who: The Christian Association When and where: Friday, 3-6 p.m.; 118 S. 37th Street Why: PTA is an ongoing program to get volunteers to interact with elementary school kids to work on conflict resolution with visual and performing arts. Aw! You should do this.
