Penn President Judith Rodin and Bill Cosby share a laugh between heats at the 104th Penn Relays, held April 23-25 at Franklin Field. Cosby, who received an honorary Doctor of Laws from Penn in 1990, has provided significant financial support to the Relays in recent years and ran in a Relays event for an episode of his long-running television series "The Cosby Show." The Relays are the nation's oldest and largest amateur track and field competition, drawing participants from 35 countries around the world.
