Hurricane Sandy Hits UPenn (VIDEO)

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected this week on the east coast by Hurricane Sandy.

Apparently, the storm didn't seem to keep the students at Penn down... '

After the jump, check out this video of Hurricane Sandy hitting the Penn campus and see what some students did in the Quad to pass the time!

Also, see what the windtunnel did to one girl's umbrella and check out the enormous amount of leaves I've probably ever seen at one time on Locust Walk.

It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research. From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
