It was our first graduation back in person in a while and my first time Marshalling!
Bravo 2022 grads!
Shout out to Tiffany Tieu for presenting her research during family weekend!
Tiffany’s been engaged in some really interesting social science research around messaging and mask wearing. It was great to have a conversation with her about it during family weekend!
Excited to start PHIL 043: Markets and Morality!
What Money Can’t Buy meets Markets without Limits — should make for some great discussion!

Former Student: Letters in Limbo
One of my all-time-fave alums, Isabella Cuan, reached out to let me know about a project she’s started (with a team!) called Letters in Limbo. I haven’t written anything yet, but it seems like a really cool project! If you’re interested in submitting a letter, head to the link: https://www.letters-in-limbo.com/
ABOUT
As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds, we’ve decided to launch “Letters in Limbo”: a historical archive documenting the personal experiences of people around the world in the face of crisis.
We are inviting you to write a letter to your future self as a means of reflecting on your thoughts and experiences in the age of COVID-19.
This is an exercise in reflection and storytelling. Think about an experience you’ve had recently in the wake of the pandemic, or the rewards and challenges of your newfound routine. Whether you’re feeling confusion, grief, or joy in your day-to-day, we believe putting our thoughts in writing can help us all navigate uncertainty and capture an honest portrait of the times.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, we will publish all submissions to the site (anonymously upon request), creating a historical record that will last for years to come.
While social distancing measures around the world keep us apart, we hope publishing “Letters in Limbo” in one space will bring us closer together than ever before.
Strong Work Penn!
Global Pandemic? Moving *everything in the College to Virtual in two weeks*? This team doesn’t miss a beat! Strong work students, faculty, and staff (especially my compatriots in the College office!) for Making It Happen!
