If youre happy with the UA, vote for someone else. If you remember when the UA made your life better, vote for someone else. But if you want real change someone who will spend your $2 million on you, not UA beach retreats; someone who will push back the pass/fail deadline and extend Thanksgiving break; someone who still has credibility to fix Penns alcohol policy and the Office of Student Conduct; and someone who has the passion, time, and experience to make student government work for you then vote DAN BERNICK FOR UA PRESIDENT. The other candidates make promise after promise but never deliver. You deserve student leaders who place your needs above their rsums.

I truly believe the UA should work for you. Crazy, right?

Jake Shuster
Hi, Im Jake Shuster the Money Booster, and Im excited to be running for UA President. As Civic and Philadelphia Engagement Director and Treasurer, I have achieved tangible results. For example, I created a campus-wide Skimmer (which will happen next year for the first time), expanded SACs budget by 7.5%, which will give your student groups budgets more flexibility, and am making significant progress on a mobile payment solution, which will let you buy student group tickets and merchandise on Locust with credit cards. These were things that you wanted, and I helped to make a reality. I am dedicated to continue giving you what you want, whether its increased flexibility over course requirements, a campus-wide bike share program, late night dining options or a more useful Penn Transit.

Erich Reimer
My name is Erich Reimer and Im asking for your vote to be your UA Vice-President. As Vice-President, I will remove the barriers between us to build a more united, diverse and collaborative Penn community so that we can create One Penn. From freshmen to seniors, weve all accomplished much, yet still strive to achieve even more. As VicePresident, I will support One Penn that fosters diverse communities, school spirit and campus-wide initiatives, and a more responsive UA, so that we may all achieve those aspirations. Expanding UA Contingency Funding for various student groups, creating a Red & Blue Shuttle to transport students to athletic events, and promoting women leadership and other minority and religious groups, are just some of the ways I believe we can make One Penn a reality. Check out facebook.com/reimerforpenn for more ideas and details on how we can bring us together to create One Penn.

Candidate for UA Vice-President

Matt Rosenberg
As the Vice President of the UA, I will strive to make your college experience as great as it can be. Over the past year, I have overseen the creation of the Common Funding Application as the UA Online Services Coordinator and crafted a $2 million budget as one of three elected Budget Committee members. My campaign is about bringing the UA back to students. I believe the best work the UA can do is the work students want to see. I want to channel the opportunities I've been given into a conduit through which any student can have their voice heard and make a difference. I will advocate for the myriad student groups with policy initiatives, but I also plan to expand the position beyond working with student leaders to reach out to students directly. Students are what make Penn special. It's time our ideas are heard.

Candidate for UA Vice-President

Abe Sutton
Im Abe Sutton, and this past year I served as Academic Affairs director on the UA. In my term I brought up the number of syllabi posted on PennInTouch and partnered with student groups to recommend ways to increase faculty diversity such as grossing-up. Ive worked with the Penn Publications Cooperative to improve Adobe InDesign access, with the Penn Society for International Development to make Penn among the first Universities to adopt a conflict mineral-free policy, and with Penn MSA to condemn profiling on the basis of religious affiliation. But the best part of working on these projects was the opportunity to both mentor other members and interact with students groups to find out what their goals were. It is for this reason that I am running for UA vice president, to work with student groups to promote collaboration and to create stronger ties between the UA and student groups.

Will Smith
Hi everyone. My name is Will Smith and Im a college sophomore running for re-election as your SAS UA Rep. This past year on the UA Ive served as executive secretary. Ive maintained voting/attendance records to keep the UA accountable and I oversee all of our services, including airport shuttles, legal services, and online services like Penn Book Bazaar. In addition to overseeing our services, Ive worked on projects to obtain credit for students involved in campus publications, projects that address issues with the add drop and pass fail deadlines, and a project to give political groups easier access to funding. Next year, I hope to continue work on academic issues like the pass fail deadline, on making UA services even better, and on working with administrators to obtain funding for political groups. Thanks for your time and Id really appreciate your vote to re-elect Will Smith for SAS rep.

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Ernest Owens
Over the past two years I have communicated with you through the web, radio, television, and of course, The Daily Pennsylvanian. However, what I have done best is serve your interests at Undergraduate Assembly meetings where much of what you guys pride at Penn is discussed. Now, I return for you to re-elect me as your UA Representative. This past year Penn Student Government has had some very notable setbacks, but I guarantee that my taste and broad appeal to student interests can help put us back on the right track. My mission is to follow through on promises and make things affordable and satisfying. I plan to strengthen the productivity and focus of student issues in our campus government, rather than on distractions. Overall, I plan to contribute to the UAs mission of restoring your faith and competence in the system. Vote to restore, vote for Ernest!

Danielle Golub
Hello fellow Penn Students, I, Danielle Golub, am running for reelection to the Undergraduate Assembly as a representative for the College of Arts and Sciences. Now that I have had the eyeopening experience of being a freshman member of the body, I feel ready to take on greater challenges and make more effective change for the betterment of our college experience. I spent the year on the Housing, Sustainability and Facilities Committee, working on several projects including reevaluating group spaces, which I hope to finish next semester, and currently, the initiation of a free commencement robe rental system that should eventually become a large enough enterprise such that we can supply robes to the entire student body. Being on the UA is the most rewarding decision I have made in my college career, and I hope you will support its continuation by voting to REELECT DANIELLE GOLUB to the UA.

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Joyce Kim
Hey College Students! My name is Joyce Kim and I am running for re-election for the Undergraduate Assembly. This past year on the UA, I was: Airport Shuttle Services Coordinator-remember those convenient, $5 shuttles over Thanksgiving and Spring Break? Youre welcome. I also passed the Drop Deadline Policy Resolution, which encourages faculty to have a significant grade before the drop deadline, that way you know where you stand in the course. Im currently working on: increasing the amount of credit given for IB exams, separating the Pass/Fail and Drop Deadlines, so you have more time to decide whether you want to pass/fail a course, & expanding the amenities for the Communication within the Curriculum (CWiC) program. If elected next year: I will continue to work diligently on the above projects as well as new ones, & of course, MOST importantlylisten to and serve YOU! VOTE JOYCE KIM FOR THE WIN!

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Willie Stern
My name is Willie Stern and I am running to serve as your college representative on the Undergraduate Assembly. This past year as a new UA student representative I worked to establish university policy regarding religious absences, ensured the presence of airport shuttles and pushed to give more credit to IB exam-takers. In this coming year, I promise to continue to work diligently and achieve tangible change. For example, I will fight to provide an additional shuttle bus to and from 30th Street Station. In addition, I hope to transform the basement in one of the high rises into a healthy mini-diner for students in the wee hours of the morning. It was a tremendous pleasure serving as your new student representative and I would be honored to represent the Penn Community once again. When theres a Will theres a way, and Will.I. Am. Thank you.

Jenny Xia
If weve never met before, hello there! My name is Jenny and Im excited to run for my second term on the UA. So what have I done so far on the UA and why should you reelect me you ask? This past year, Ive devoted my time on the UA to improving sustainability and services on campus. Ive helped start up Penn Cycle, an awesome bike share program in Hill and worked to make events on campus more ecoconscious. Ive also worked to simplify the old roomselection process and am in the process of improving Penn Transit services for undergraduates, including initiating a new shuttle line that will run down South Street. Ive thoroughly enjoyed my time on the UA this year and hope to make next school year an even better one for you.

Gabe Delaney
As a UA Representative, I want to say thank you to the Penn Community for giving me their trust in my ability to positively contribute to our student government. I have, since last fall, assumed the role of Co-Coordinator of the UA Airport Shuttles, introduced a discussion paper outlining a plan for the improvement of the Shuttle Program, openly defended the rights of Muslim students in front of the UA body in my sponsorship of the UA resolution condemning the NYPDs racialprofiling of Muslim undergraduates at Penn, and worked on a policy with President Amy Guttmann that would improve the social and academic life of Penns undocumented student population. Now, with your help, I am seeking to build on what I have already done for Penn in seeking re-election and in promising the Penn student body that shall remain a fierce defender of our rights and interests.

Josh Chilcote
There are many things that make Penn great. It was because of the great possibilities this university has offered me that I decided to run for the Undergraduate Assembly to represent the College of Arts and Sciences. I did not come to this idea lightly. I wanted to make sure that if I did this, I did it right. This past year I decided that I had to give back to Penn, a place that had given me so much. Weve all noticed small things that could make our experience better. My main plans for reform involve trying to help groups maintain membership, beyond just their executive boards, and making it so that outside scholarships are no longer taken out of a students financial aid package. These are just two issues I hope to address, issues that affect us all, and, as such, issues that can be addressed together.

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Nikolai Zapertov
To my fellow Quakers in the College, I am running to be your UA Rep so that your needs are better represented, whether they are of a social, academic, or housing nature. Having been an Associate Member of the UA this year on the Student Life Committee, I saw how many projects are still untouched, and how many initiatives are yet to be implemented. Besides continuing to better enhance the services offered by CAPS and Pottruck, XCAT, and the Writing Center, I want to help make the PSG transparent and accountable to students, while also responsive to feedback and more welcoming for the opinion of unelected student leaders. I believe that more students should use the UA to meet their various student-life needs, and I hope to change the way that people interact with the UA so more individuals get involved. Cheers!

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Stephen Ahn
HI! I'm qualified to represent SAS in the UA because of my extracurricular involvement and experience in working with with Penn administration and the UA. As the Political Chair of the United Minorities Council, I have had the honor of regularly attending University Council meetings, through which I have gained a comprehensive understanding of how the diverse and multilateral interests of our University interplay to shape policy. As an elected UA representative, I may have the duty to attend these meetings, and my prior experience and familiarity will help facilitate the transition for a newly elected General Assembly. As a representative of the UMC, I've also faithfully attended UA Steering meetings, and have a good grasp of how the UA works to affect change for you! I've seen what the UA accomplishes for you and I'm running to help represent your SAS interests to make that happen!

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Anthony Cruz
I am proud to say that I am a member of the School of Arts and Sciences. Some may call us the School of arts and crafts, the slytherins, but we are the best! I am Anthony Cruz and I am running to be one of your College UA Representatives. I have been fortunate enough to meet people of various races! I have worked with the Latino and Jewish Communities. In fact, you can usually find me at Hillel talking to my Jewish brethren. Do Wawa Dining Dollars and longer dining hours sound like familiar promises? That is all rubbish. Some realistic proposals of mine are for holiday shuttle buses to 30th Street Station, an effective way for Penn to communicate their complaints to the UA, environmental friendliness, and fair statements on behalf of all Penn organizations by the UA. A Fair deal for all!

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Chris Cruz
Thank you. I have had the privilege to serve the student body for nearly 3 years now, because you have continued to "Put it on Cruz-Control." Thanks to you. Over my term on the UA, I've helped to launch Pennbookbazaar.com, Pennlunch.com, Penn Signs, and PennCycle. Your support is how these initiatives happened. Students like you, reading these blurbs, staying informed, and allowing us to serve you are the reason we are here. Thank you for helping us in making the campus a better place. If you continue to place your trust in me, I will continue to serve you as an agent of change, I promise you. I hope that I can continue to serve you on the Undergraduate Assembly to push your ideas forward and strengthen the Penn community.

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Nolan Burger
My experience with student government will make me an effective representative on the Undergraduate Assembly next year. As a New Student Representative this year, I gained valuable insight regarding legislation and project implementation. I know how the system works--how to effectively introduce new project ideas and policies. Ive worked with financial aid, academics, and admissions. I want to continue to address concerns regarding the outside scholarship policy and revamping campus tours to give prospective students a better picture of both Penn and Philadelphia. I have also been involved with the Civic and Philadelphia Engagement Committee, and Im committed to seeing Penn become even more connected with our West Philadelphia neighborhood. My familiarity with the Undergraduate Assemblys functions means that I am capable of efficiently accomplishing tasks that you deem important. I am your resource. I look forward to the opportunity to represent you again!

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Jon Monfred
Main goal for next year: Increasing school spirit across campus and building Penn pride by breaking down barriers between groups, especially by encouraging collaboration between athletes, performing arts groups, cultural and religious groups, the Greek community, etc. Taking advantage of Shoemaker Green to bring Penn together at tailgates before the football games next fall.

Julio Albarracin
For the past year, as Representative in the Undergraduate Assembly, I have worked tirelessly to make Penn the best university it can be. As a member of the UA's Student Life committee, I have pushed to increased funding for Counseling and Psychological Services, advocated for the sexual health of students, and worked to provide students with access to laptop chargers in Van Pelt Library. I was elected to the Tangible Change committee, as well as the Student Health Advisory Board, and these positions have allowed me to campaign for you, the College student. If reelected to the Undergraduate Assembly, I hope to build on what I have done in the past. Over the next year, I hope to work toward the implementation of lecture recording technology in more SAS classes, increasing access to research opportunities, and continuing to provide adequate funding for student groups on campus. Thank you. Re-Elect Julio!

Candidate for UA SAS Representative

Chinyere Agbai
Many candidates run for campus leadership positions for several reasons. Reasons including improving their resumes, making new friends, and occupying empty space in their schedules. Dont get me wrong, these elements are definitely pluses. But for me, the primary reason that I am running for the College Class Chair of 2015 and Undergraduate Assembly Representative is because I am kind of obsessed with Penn. I love the wide variety of classes, the gorgeous architecture, and of course, the students. The students of this university are bursting with excellent ideas for new projects and initiatives; all you need is someone to help communicate these ideas to the administration. I want to be that someone. If elected, I will be your megaphone to get these suggestions heard in an enthusiastic and transparent manner. Vote Chinyere Agbai for your School of Arts and Sciences Class Chair of 2015 and your Undergraduate Assembly Representative!

As a member of the UA, I will work to fix the problems that I have noticed and those that have been pointed out to me. There is nowhere to get a snack while working late in the engineering buildings, there is a lack of community within the engineering school, and the classes are weighted more harshly in comparison to the other schools. While I have just listed these as problems, I also look at them as goals, things to fix. Some of these goals are obviously more difficult to achieve than others, but none of them are unattainable, and all of them would greatly improve the academic environment of the engineering school. I want to leave my mark on SEAS by making these improvements a reality.

Over the past year Ive worked on projects ranging from Interdisciplinary Academic Planning worksheets to Engineering Advising. I also sit on the Next Generation Student Systems committee, planning improvements to Penn In Touch, and I also hold the UAs SEAS seat on University Council. Last year, I was your UA Legal Services Coordinator, and worked on PennStudySpaces with PennAppsLabs. I look forward to continuing to represent you and your needs on the Undergraduate Assembly.

Hey Whartonites and Whartonettes! My name is Lisa Xu, and Im running for re-election as Wharton UA Representative. Last year, as a member of the UAs Academic Affairs committee, I spearheaded a number of important projects and passed two resolutions and two completion reports. I worked with Career Services to make improvements to PennLink, I increased the number of syllabi posted on Penn InTouch by emailing all Penn professors, I helped raise awareness of students rights to absences for religious holidays, and I researched options for students to keep their school email addresses after graduation. Next year, if re-elected, I hope to continue my current projects, in addition to liaising with Wharton Council to increase funding to Wharton clubs and pushing Penn Computing to change the schools email system to Gmail.

I am running for re-election because there is so much more I would like to do. We already have many exciting ideas in mind for Fling and the next two years.

Hello Whartonites! I am Chris Cortes, also known as Sassy Chris, and I am running for Undergraduate Assembly (UA), Wharton Rep, re-election! As a current member of the UA, I have made various efforts to address some of the problems concerning the Penn community. Sitting at the UA body and Student Life Committee meetings, I have had the opportunity to understand the complexities of this University in order to utilize our resources for the student's benefit. As of right now, I am working on improving communication between student organizations and pre-frosh to enhance the participation of freshmen in student organizations. If I am once again given the opportunity to sit on the UA, I will no doubt continue this project, in addition to tackling some others. If you vote for me, I'll be sure to not let you down!

Candidate for UA Wharton Rep.

Tiffany Zhu
Many of you chose me last year to be your UA Wharton Rep. Over the year, I have worked with many other hardworking members to fully utilize the UAs capabilities. This year, I was fortunate to be on the budget committee, working with various large groups on campus to divide almost $2 million. By increasing SACs budget by 7.7%, we were able to funnel more money directly to you, the students, adding more utility and funding for your student groups. I have helped with the initiation of the Dining Hall Advisory Board, helping to voice your concerns to the admins. of Penn services. I have also initiated plans to reform the outdated funding guide, making it easier for student groups to find funding around campus. If re-elected, I will continue to keep your interests my TOP priority. Remember, you know what to do, vote Tiffany Zhu!

My name is Katie Imielska, and I am currently a sophomore in Wharton. As a vice president of marketing for the Financial Literacy Community Project I am currently working on a charity event combined with Delta Sigma Pi for the Make a Wish Foundation. Through such activities, I can bring different student groups together that previously did not interact. As a UA Member for Wharton, I want to continue bringing various groups together, especially business-related groups, in hopes of fostering a greater sense of community among students in order to improve the students quality of life. Lastly, as a dual degree student, I hope to cater to this growing population by focusing on some initiatives, like creating worksheets where both majors are listed together. Ultimately, I would be honored to serve on the UA representing Wharton. Thus, I strongly encourage you to come out and vote.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a dedicated advocate for the advancement of nursing in healthcare and that I absolutely love the profession. I am heavily involved in many Nursing Organizations, particularly MAN-UP and MNO and have been involved with student government leadership for the past 3 years here at Penn. I love it! I will continue to act as a conduit between the needs of the members of these clubs/organizations and the ones in charge of the weekly UA and Class Board meetings. Also, its important that you guys know that I credit myself as being an honest and outspoken person so if you have any concerns, please do let me know and I will absolutely make sure that your voices are heard. Just because our school is small doesnt mean that we dont have a say in any school-wide events/activities. Vote for Stubbs!!

Thank you for everything. Your energy, attendance, and enthusiasm towards past class events are why we have so much momentum going into our final year together. In the past 3 years, we've done some amazing things. We've brought traditions to a new level with Skimmer, NSOver Again, and Econ Scream. We've brought exciting new ideas to life with Stephen Starr Restaurant Week, Welcome Back at Smoke's, OCR (On Campus Relaxation), Campusfood Free 4 All, and a private screening of a new sitcom with stars from CBS television. We've given back to the community with 3 book drives, fundraising over $4,000 for non-profits. We've made popular apparel and giveaways - Harry Potter shirts, Classic Ivy Sweatshirts, Homecoming scarves, Fling sunglasses, and water bottles. Moving forward, I would love your support in re-election as we bring you Hey Day, Feb Club, and do everything possible to make these four years truly unforgettable.

One year ago, we brought you Harry Potter t-shirts. We brought you Stephen Starr dinners. We brought you a fantastic Sophomore year. Through sheer innovation and hard work, we managed to help rekindle and bring back an age-old Penn tradition called Skimmer. Two years ago, we all awkwardly met at the freshman formal. We had NSOver Again filled with restaurant deals ,campusfood, and $5 movie tickets. Perhaps, some of you still wear those Get Lucky green tshirts. Three years. Senior your is soon upon us, so lets have one last final toast to finish off our lives at Penn. Lets continue to focus on the class traditions and class bonding that will fill our college memories for years to come.

As past SAS chair for Class Board 2013, the reason why Im running again is simple: I love Class Board. I love being able to give back to my class and work with my fellow board members on new ideas. As rising seniors, this upcoming year is the biggest one yet. Three years have flown by, and this year it's our time to walk down Locust on Hey Day. It's our time to try and get our names engraved on the plaque at Smoke's during Feb Club. It's our time to give to the school that has already given us so much through Seniors for The Penn Fund. I want to be an integral part of that, and I believe I can help make these events better than ever before. Vote Beryl for Class Board 2013 SAS Chair!

PJ Hobson
Hello Wharton juniors, my name is PJ Hobson but most of you affectionately know me as the kid who helps out your curve. Although my strengths may not include corporate valuation or cluster analysis, I havent lost sight of the fact that most of the college experience occurs outside of the classroom. For those of you that dont know, the class boards purpose is to provide social programming that will instill a sense of class and school spirit. My experiences with Penn Football and the Greek community have given me the resources necessary to fill your senior year with memorable social events that you will carry with you beyond college. Additionally, as a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, I have a unique relationship with Penn Athletics that will facilitate future participation at athletic events. Theres more to life than school, its time to get out of the classroom.

Spencer Stubbs
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a dedicated advocate for the advancement of nursing in healthcare and that I absolutely love the profession. I am heavily involved in many Nursing Organizations, particularly MAN-UP and MNO and have been involved with student government leadership for the past 3 years here at Penn. I love it! I will continue to act as a conduit between the needs of the members of these clubs/organizations and the ones in charge of the weekly UA and Class Board meetings. Also, its important that you guys know that I credit myself as being an honest and outspoken person so if you have any concerns, please do let me know and I will absolutely make sure that your voices are heard. Just because our school is small doesnt mean that we dont have a say in any school-wide events/activities. Vote for Stubbs!!

As president this year, it's been so rewarding to lead the charge of unifying our class. Ive had the great fortune of being part of a dynamic board and class committed to coming together as a strong 15.

Planning ahead: a thrilling 2012 Fling kickoff, the most exciting Skimmer in Penn history, a Sophomore welcome back picnic at Dr. Gutmanns house, an even bigger international dinner, class apparel design contest, increased support for mens and womens athletic events, &more Im so grateful for an amazing year and appreciate your continued support and faith in my passion, energy and diehard dedication to our class as I seek reelection.

I have been privileged to represent you this past year and have worked tenaciously to promote meaningful connections among our class through engaging events such as Econ Scream, Cram n Jam, Sugar Rush, and the International Dinner.

Tanya Pabani
My name is Tanya Pabani and I am running for Class Board 2015 Executive Vice President. During sophomore year, living situations change from most of the class living in close knit communities to a fragmented living situation. My aim is to make sure we stick together as a class, which can be done through bonding over various methods, on such as free food (obviously, considering most of us will not have a meal plan anymore). We can get Chipotle, Bobbys, Insomnia, or anything else that the Class of 2015 may want! I also believe that events like Sophomore Skimmer and Fling should have more Class of 2015 apparel giveaways, as this will help increase class pride. Most of us have settled in by now so what is important is that this sense of community remains and we all keep having a lot of fun. And all of this is possible if

As you read this, you are probably closing in on the home stretch of your freshman year. It has gone way too fast, 2015, but Im glad to say this year has also been one of my most memorable. From eating donuts at Econ Scream, to experiencing the vast array of cultures that make up the freshman class at the International Dinner, I feel lucky to have engaged with such a cool group of people. I would, therefore, be honored to have your vote for Vice President of Finances so that I can continue working and meeting with the people that I am lucky enough to call my classmates in order to perpetuate our timeless Penn traditions. Our college years are fleeting, 2015; I want to help make them count. Lets finish the year out strongand remember: vote PV for VP [again].

Chinyere Agbai
Many candidates run for campus leadership positions for several reasons. Reasons including improving their resumes, making new friends, and occupying empty space in their schedules. Dont get me wrong, these elements are definitely pluses. But for me, the primary reason that I am running for the College Class Chair of 2015 and Undergraduate Assembly Representative is because I am kind of obsessed with Penn. I love the wide variety of classes, the gorgeous architecture, and of course, the students. The students of this university are bursting with excellent ideas for new projects and initiatives; all you need is someone to help communicate these ideas to the administration. I want to be that someone. If elected, I will be your megaphone to get these suggestions heard in an enthusiastic and transparent manner. Vote Chinyere Agbai for your School of Arts and Sciences Class Chair of 2015 and your Undergraduate Assembly Representative!

I am approachable, determined and perpetually optimistic. If I am re-elected, the entire class makes Class Board too. This is about our fascinating journey in making a difference.

What I say is what I do. If you have a great idea, I promise that it will be realized. Together, we are creating the future of engineering at Penn. Together, we can accomplish anything.

Hi! Im Angela Rice. Im the current Class of 2015 Wharton Chair and am running for re-election. During our first semester, I realized how hard Whartonites work - perfecting projects in GSRs, researching in Van Pelt, and studying everywhere. In light of this, and keeping with our cherished work hard, play hard motto, I am committed to making sure Whartonites have as much fun as they have schoolwork. This year, Class Board has maintained traditional events and started new ones. I have seen how Class Board works and can use that experience to create and implement Wharton-specific events and keep Wharton students involved with the Class of 2015 as a whole! Without Management and BPUB, what will keep us together? Clearly, we need more fun, food, and free gear! If this sounds nice, vote Rice!

Due to our schools small class size I have been fortunate enough to better know most of you, my fellow classmates, however I look forward to meeting many more of you regardless of whether I am elected or not. Our small class size enables me to understand and realize the problems and conflicts we face during our education. I recognize the lack of communication between professors, the inefficient process of getting compliant, and the minimal study support that is easily accessible. By electing me to our Class Chair you are unifying our classs voice in one confident and proactive person. I will work with our faculty to see that our academic needs are met, I will collaborate with my fellow class leaders to see that our social needs are met, and I will work in partnership with you to ensure that your needs are met.

It has been an honor serving on class board, and a privilege to bring you events like Econ Scream (Cellular Biology Scream in our case,) Cram n Jam, Sugar Rush, and the International Dinner. Weve followed Penn traditions, and also created our own. Needless to say, weve had an awesome freshman year thus far (and we still have FLING!). If reelected, I will continue working hard with members of class board as well as fellow nursing students to keep fostering relationships and planning events that develop class unity. Nurses, YOU are my main priority, and it has been a privilege representing you. If reelected, I promise that your voices will be heard; we may be small, but we have a lot to contribute to the Penn Class of 2015!
