Hello, my name is Tunmise Fawole, and I am running for Undergraduate Assembly New Student Representative. Amidst the candidates running, you’re probably wondering what differentiates me from everyone else, and the answer to that is diversity. At a young age, I emigrated from Nigeria to Minnesota. Moving from the Equator to the land of the cold Vikings taught me how to assimilate to and accommodate a new culture. This is what makes me apt to be one of your New Student Representatives; learning how to adapt to something totally different will allow me to bring a fresh and interesting perspective to the UA, while still representing your fabulous ideas. At Penn, there are so many different types of people with wonderful ideas and it is important that they are adequately represented and advocated for on the UA.
Thank you for your time and remember: Vote Tunmise (Too-mi-shay) for the UA!
