  • Summer 2015E Asonvolume 44S Number 2 a Note from the Executive Director
    SSummer 2015E ASONVolume 44S Number 2 A Note from the Executive Director PAUL W. MEYER, The F. Otto Haas Executive Director Flora of Pennsylvania: Taking Plant Science Research to the Next Level otanical and horticultural research were central to the vision of John and Lydia Morris as they planned the future of the institution we now know as the Morris Arboretum of the University Bof Pennsylvania. And, since 1933, Arboretum staff and students have focused on developing information and expertise on the native and naturalized plants of Pennsylvania. This work has resulted in a series of definitive publications including two editions of Plants of Pennsylvania, Trees of Photo: Nick Kelsh Pennsylvania, and most recently, Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania. In 1980, the Arboretum assumed leadership in developing an electronic database for the Pennsylvania flora, and since then it has continued to build and expand the wealth of information included. Today, this database covers more than 3,000 taxa of plants and includes more than 400,000 records of plant occurrences, each based on a physical herbarium specimen. Information derived from the database informs teachers, students, landscape professionals, and natural lands managers, as well as amateur plant enthusiasts. Each year the database is augmented with new information resulting from extensive field work conducted throughout the Commonwealth. As an outcome of strategic planning, this work will continue, and the Morris Arboretum will build its expertise on Pennsylvania plants and develop recommendations for their protection and conservation. However, while science has moved forward, we currently do not have the laboratory equipment and supplies needed to conduct the tests and experiments which will answer critical questions related to understanding Pennsylvania plants, especially those which are rare, threatened or endangered.

  • What Is Penn Park?
    1 Frequently Asked Questions About Penn Park Q: What is Penn Park? A: Penn Park is 24 acres of contiguous open space that includes athletic and recreational facilities owned and operated by the University of Pennsylvania. This new amenity lies to the east of the Levy Tennis Pavilion, bordered by Walnut Street, AMTRAK’s Northeast Corridor rail line and South Street. Q: What are the athletic facilities in the Park? A: Proceeding south from Walnut Street; the Park contains Ace Adams field and Dunning-Cohen Champions field, both multipurpose NCAA regulation athletic fields; a 470- seat multipurpose stadium that is also an NCAA regulation women’s softball field; and 12 tennis courts, with 200 seat viewing stands. Between these facilities are pathways, elevated bridge connections and open space for passive recreation; 530 trees adorn the landscaped pathways for walking and jogging. The Park is served by a 210-car surface parking lot bordering the north boundary along Lower Walnut Street. In addition, a security station and restrooms reside in the stadium. Q: Is Penn Park just for athletic use? A: Penn Park integrates athletic venues and park like spaces. It has two acres of open spaces that are agile in use and not specified for athletic use. They are: the South Lawn, an open space between Ace Adams Field and the multipurpose stadium; the Picnic Grove - an open space nestled between the Dunning-Cohen Champions Field and the multipurpose stadium and the South Green, a grass recreation field south of the Hamlin Tennis Center. All easily accessed from the West by the Paley Bridge.

  • 1 a Day in New York Alain Elkann It Had Been a Few Days Since I Was
    A Day in New York Alain Elkann It had been a few days since I was alone in the house. They were all away for different reasons. Now and then a young Ukrainian man came to do some work on the basement and the garden. His name was Sergio and he spoke Italian with me as he knew no English, no French, or any other languages but Ukrainian and Italian. We had both lived in Italy for many years. He had lived in the country in Umbria, I in Rome. Now we were both in New York for work. Sergio was in his mid-twenties, thin and tall, very pale with brown eyes. He was kind, but extremely stubborn. He rarely smiled and was a pessimist by nature. In New York he refused to visit anything cultural and had no friends. The only thing he liked was having some free time to visit stores that sold electronics. He pretended to know about and understand everything, but he was often wrong. That morning we had breakfast together at around eight. He only ate white bread and butter, and drank coffee with two spoons of white sugar. He liked to listen to the radio, Ukrainian programmes in particular, songs or sporting events. He loved cars and the Internet. He loved country villages and small towns. He liked order and Italian shoes. As I said, the house was empty. Anita was in the country, Victoria on vacation in London, Zeno in California, Masha in Europe for a friend’s wedding. The dogs were with Anita in the country.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Message from Our President/CEO
    2018 IMPACT REPORT A Message From Our President/CEO If those close to Ed Snider were asked to name his most admirable qualities, it’s doubtful that patience would make the list. That’s not to say Ed didn’t put a lot of thought into what he did. It’s just that he believed sooner or later (and for Ed, it was most often sooner) the time comes to put an idea to the test—and if necessary—refine it on the fly. From our inception in 2005, Ed encouraged us to think boldly. If we saw a need or an opportunity (Ed typically thought these were two sides of the same coin), he urged us to take action. And—while we’ve grown in ways that may have surprised even Ed, we’re still inspired by his healthy restlessness. Consider some of the bold steps taken in 2018: u The University of the Sciences and Elizabethtown College were added to our cadre of higher education partners, providing our students with two more terrific post-secondary institutions at which they can access full college scholarships through our Goals & Assists program and graduate free of debt. u In efforts to deepen our commitment to foster good citizenship, broaden students’ horizons, and support our children, youth, and families in times of crisis, we created two new full-time positions: Coordinator of Service Learning & Career Development and Community Resource Specialist. u The Pew Charitable Trusts selected us to participate in its Evaluation Capacity Building Initiative, a rigorous 18-month training curriculum that will help us become even better at using data to measure and evaluate our success.

  • Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey
    From our Alumni Board..... Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey: As the Penn Hockey season kicks off, I’m reminded of the things that make the program so great: the people, the traditions, and the legacy. First and foremost, the student athletes are the heart of the Men’s and Women’s programs. They dedicate 20+ hours every week from September until March to represent Penn Hockey. Current players Bill Matczak and Michaela Flaherty, as well as the rest of the captains and officers have demonstrated very strong leadership throughout the past year. The coaching staff and team volunteers are equally as committed as the players, contributing their own personal time that would otherwise be spent with friends, family, and their studies. Ad- ditionally, Mike Reno and the rest of the Penn Rec Structured Sport team have provided endless support for the programs and the Alumni Board. Second, Penn Hockey’s traditions serve as a link from the program’s past to its present. The team’s student leadership hosted the inaugural Club Ivy Championships last year which rekindled Ancient Eight rivalries with Princeton, Harvard, and Brown. The team plans to host the tournament again this upcoming February. The Homecoming Alumni Game on November 5th will be seventh year that alumni will gather at the Class of 1923 Rink to share a spirited game on the ice and share memories off the ice. Last year’s game featured alumni span- ning five decades of Penn Hockey -- from the class of 1959 to the class of 2009. This also marks the fourth year that the program’s Brian Reagan ’02 Leadership Award will be presented.
