Bharat Ganju

As your 2-year running SAS Class Chair, I have been actively involved with the planning and coordination of events such as Skimmer Fest, Econ Scream, the week long event of NSOver Again, and most recently, POD! Born in Abu Dhabi, I lived both there and in Canada until I was ten. In 2005, I began attending a boarding school in India, where I was elected School Prefect. Here at Penn, I am planning on majoring in Economics and Mathematics. Representing 1500 students has been an honor and a great privilege, and if re-elected as SAS Class Chair, I believe that I would be able to continue to effectively represent the College on the Class Board. Through understanding your opinions and proposals and ensuring that they are realized, I will make your voice heard. Vote Bharat! Bharat Ganju “ IT’S BARACK WITH A ‘T’ ”
