NEWS BRIEF Medical professor gets teaching honor
Aaron Goodman/The Daily Pennsylvanian
The Hub apartment building at 40th and Chestnut streets is now open, but it’s debut came months late. Movein began this month, but some of the new residents are less than pleased with the accommodations.
Life at the Hub apts. not what some expected HUB from page A1 “They should have finished earlier,” she said. “It’s been a lot of work to change my plans at the last minute.” But Robert Hoe, who supervised the development of the site said that everyone worked hard to finish as quickly as possible. “Builders were there up until and even after midnight the day before students moved in, just getting everything ready,” Hoe said.
He added that the lobby, stairwell and the other floors still need some construction, but the bare ceilings and exposed fixtures are part of a design with that Hoe calls a “modern, minimalist feel.” And Wharton junior Sam Pierce says he loves living at the Hub. “It’s quiet, and I have my own space,” said Pierce, who lives in a studio apartment. But with the first three floors of the Hub designated for retail
space, and a Jean Madeline hair salon scheduled to move there in January, the building is viewed as a potential source of economic growth for the area. Penn Facilities and Real Estate spokesman Tony Sorrentino said that the University is “hoping that it will be a critical mass of architecture and that we can get everyone in smoothly now. We want the Hub to do its job in bringing students to 40th street.”
Penn Medical Professor Helen Davies has received an award for her work in medical education. The Association of American Medical Colleges is honoring the microbiology professor with the Alpha Omega Alpha award. Davies has been teaching for 40 years, and she was the first female member of Penn Medicine’s Microbiology Department. She was also the first woman in 2001 to receive the American Medical Student Association’s National E x c e l l e n c e i n Te a c h i n g Award. Particularly, Davies is noted for her unique teaching methods, which include writing original song lyrics about course material based on popular songs and performing the songs during class. Additionally, Davies has completed work throughout the University and West Philadelphia community, serving as a faculty master for seven years and running a program aimed at exposing disadvantaged students to Penn’s labs. Davies will receive her honor at the AAMC annual dinner reception Saturday night. — Alanna Kaufman
