My name is Vy Bharad (Vybhavi Bharadwaj), and I am running for the Undergraduate Assembly and Wharton Class Chair for Class Board.

Here at Penn we like to say we play hard and party hard. As Engineering Class Chair, I want to make sure we maintain this reputation as an academically and socially vibrant campus.

My name is Shaun Ayrton and I am here to represent you as the Engineering Chair on the Class Board of 2015.

Hey there! I am Chris Cortes, also known as Sassy Chris, and I am running for a Representative position in the Undergraduate Assembly (UA). As an early decision applicant, I have been determined to be a part of the Penn community since the get go.

Hi! My name is Rachel Bernard, and I’m running for the Nursing Chair on Class Board. Nurses have the responsibility of advocating for their patients and ensuring their well-being.

Hello! My name is Sue Lim, and I’m running for Wharton Class Chair. One of the reasons why I’m running is because I LOVE organizing events and interacting with people.

How many of you have gone to the dining halls after a long, onerous day of classes and activities only to find the big bad iron gate blocking your path to the only food you can get with PennCard swipes?

The Wharton School is the best in the world, so shouldn’t we be treated like the best? Fortunately, the Class Board has done a great job coming up with new and fresh ideas so that Penn students can have fun.

My name is Ellery like Celery, and I’m not your average candidate. I’m a transfer student, which means I’m new to Penn, but I’ve also experienced my own freshman year, and know how it can be made better.

Most of us love Penn, but it isn’t perfect. While most of us are still on the high of getting in, we’ve all been bothered by the dining hall hours, those hidden text book fees we didn’t find out about until after registration, and the personal nuances we have all encountered.

Eat. Work. Sleep. These are the staples of college life; the bits in-between are just foreplay. Is it not odd then, that Penn makes it as difficult as possible to get on and revel in these activities?

The textbook situation is also silly; I have yet to comprehend how much I spent on one semester’s worth of books.
