After New York summers spent at Nickelodeon and in the food business, we got a preview of how our two-brained efforts at Penn will soon translate into the professional world.
When I graduate at the end of this year, I’ve been promised my own sandwich printed on the Bui’s food truck menu.

ENDA seeks to ban employment discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity. However, despite repeat introductions to Congress, ENDA has never been formally invited to the dance and remains a civil rights dream.
