Ray Clark, 2017
UA Vice President, UA College Rep
Hey Quakers! My name is Ray Clark and I’m running for Vice President of your Undergraduate Assembly! I’m currently on the Social Justice Committee and I also serve as the Legal Services Coordinator of the body. Why am I running though? Because ever since I stepped foot on campus, I knew Penn was home. My love for this institution is unparalleled and I want to be the one to advocate for you as a university family.
There are lots of problems that need solutions and I’m the guy to fix them. I want to incorporate more student voices into conversations of mental health, increase civic engagement with our neighboring West Philadelphia community, advocate for resources for victims of sexual assault, provide resources for transitioning international/transfer/undocumented students and most importantly bridge the gap between campus communities that usually don’t interact. If you believe in these things, then Vote Ray for UA!

Bill Ding, 2016
UA Vice President, UA Wharton Rep
My name is Bill Ding and I am running to be your UA Vice President along with my running mate, Aidan McConnell. After serving on UA for three years, I think UA is now detached from YOU, the student body. When Aidan and I collect signatures, some of our peers do not know what UA is or what UA does.. We, as representatives of UA, should listen to what YOU say and do what YOU need. Along with my running mate Aidan McConnell, I envision an Undergraduate Assembly that harnesses the determination of each student to directly impact and shape university policy, implementing a PennHelp chat room/discussion service for campus services via Canvas. If YOU want a UA that really represents YOU, please vote Bill Ding for UA Vice President and Aidan McConnell for UA President. We are working for YOU.

Daniel Kahana, 2017
UA Vice President, UA College Rep
This is a critical time for Penn. After spending two years on the UA, most recently as Student Life Director, I am well aware of the amazing opportunities at our university. I am also cognizant of the vast deficiencies that exist in our community. Mental health issues and sexual assault affect too many students at Penn, and the university’s response to these issues are blatantly lacking. On the UA, I have already tackled these issues and taken meaningful steps to improve our campus. I co-published the Wellness Guide, making clear to all students the resources available for mental health on campus, and spearheaded Penn’s first ever Yoga Day, providing stress relief free of charge. As your Vice President, mental health and sexual assault prevention will continue to be my top priorities. I would be privileged to have your vote.
