Brett Perlmutter's Corner
Sophomores —
Now in the second semester of our second year at Penn, I encourage you to take a moment and reflect on the time we have had together and all of the excitement that lies in store.
Last April we celebrated the end of our freshman year with the Penn Traditions Class of 2009: Members Only Event at the National Constitution Event. After a long summer break we hit the ground running with SPEC's No Place Like Penn Weekend when we sponsored world famous hypnotist Tom Deluca at Irvine Auditorium. Sophomores who attended the Homecoming game enjoyed rocking the www.Penn09.com Wayfarer Sunglasses, brought to you exclusively by your Class Board. If you didn't have enough of Penn football, however, we brought you to Princeton the subsequent weekend's away game where we tailgated, received sweet shirts, and enjoyed hoagies from our boys at Hoagie Haven. At the annual State of the School Address in December you were able to hear about the Sophomore Class as well as from other student leaders from the NEC, SAC, SPEC, SCUE, and the UA.
The launch of www.Penn09.com marks the next step in your experience at Penn. It is part of a greater initiative to provide more programming especial for you, the Sophomores. Look forward to the Clash of the Classes at the Palestra on February 9th along with the Sophomore Skimmer on March 20th.
But even more is in store… Hey Day, Ivy Day, Feb Club, and the Class Gift Drive. I look forward deepening our connection to both Penn and to each other.
Bleeding Red (and Blue),
Brett A. Perlmutter
