What's HapPENNing?

In honor of the first full week of classes (fuck you, Penn administration, for not shutting down the university today), we decided to bring back your favorite feature. You're welcome! Follow along as we break down campus' 5 can't-miss events of the week, plus a Philly Pick of the Week, selected with none other than YOU in mind. 

A Conversation with Jonah Platt

When? THIS AFTERNOON, 4:30 p.m.

Where? Platt

Why? Between this event and this recent announcement, it seems Penn just can't get enough of Broadway's finest. 

Bring? Questions. He'll be answering 'em!

THE WALK Winter Launch Party

When? Wednesday, 6 p.m.

Where? Elmo's

Why? Who better to take fashion advice from than Penn students, who very obviously have their own distinctive sartorial sensibilities

Bring? Your best Miranda Priestly impression. 

FREE Yoga and Meditation at The Palestra

When? Friday, 9 a.m.

Where? Seriously? 

Why? If it doesn't involve a treadmill but will still burn calories, then we're all for it. 

Bring? Your own mat/towel. 

Wharton Women Business Conference 2016

When? Friday, 10 a.m.

Where? JMHH, 8th floor

Why? Alumni described as "engaging," "thoughtful," and "successful" are scheduled to attend. Neat!

Bring? Your laptop, so you can play THIS on loop, and remind people what being a Penn grad is REALLY all about

Leveraging Your Creative Experience in a Professional Setting

When? Friday, 12:30 p.m.

Where? Platt

Why? Free tacos. 

Bring? Your ignorance – because if you think all those hell weeks you put yourself through are going to prove worthwhile post-grad, then you are sorely mistaken.

Philly Pick of the Week

90's Bar Crawl

When? Saturday, 2 p.m.

Where? See Facebook event for full list of participants

Why? The girls in our newest PC were born in 1998 and are claiming they're 90's kids, and it's fucking annoying.

Bring? A solid away message.
