-
Let’s start off simple, right in Huntsman Hall: get a picture on the grand staircase (it’s just the start of it all…)
-
Get your selfie skills ready and look for the seat that houses Benny Franklin, take your pic with Ben and send out the tweet!
-
Take a right out of Huntsman, across the bridge - down the walk, there’s a sculpture called “The Covenant” so feel free to gawk!
-
Cheese and seitan steaks are one of the things for which the city is known, grab one of these sandwiches and take a picture chowing down.
-
It’s that time to let your nerd flag fly high, SEAS has some of ENIAC, worth capturing the moment before saying “goodbye.”
-
Located at the Art Museum in Logan Square, is the statue of Rocky along with the stairs. Grab a pic for the hunt but don’t stop now, number 7’s around the back, you’re there anyhow!
-
There’s a gazebo that sits on the Waterworks site, a different view of the city, that’s pure delight!
-
Take a left out of Huntsman down Locust Walk, you’ll run into the Penn LOVE statue, an uncrowded version that’s available ‘round the clock.
-
Not far from Penn’s LOVE statue, is a button that fell, split in half from Benny’s jacket, that’s the story they tell!
-
Now that we’re coming to the end of this quest, head over to Penn’s BioPond and take a nice deserved rest!
For an extra point, deck yourself out with conference swag, tweet us a pic, to help us brag!
