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.

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

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? By 8 o’clock, all dining halls are closed, keeping starving athletes who finish practice at 9pm and late-night eaters from using precious dining swipes. The textbook situation is also silly; I have yet to comprehend how much I spent on one semester’s worth of books.

Fashion has long given preference to females, with general lack of male interest. By allowing talk about men’s fashion to be a taboo, we are shutting down opportunities for the man on the street to express himself.

Aman Gupta, Louis Markham, Phillip Fuchs and Katherine Mateo. What these names have in common, besides the fact that they represent some intensely attractive people, is their recognition of Penn’s imperfection.

Penn is not perfect and progress still has to be made. What I and my running mates, Louis Markham, Aman Gupta and Katherine Mateo, stand for is the following.

Hello my name is Martin Rufo. I’m a Wharton student who wants to be a UA representative of the class of 2015.

Hello!?? I’m Jonathan Paz and I would love to be your UA Representative. I feel I have the experience and leadership skills to lead our class over the next year. I’m not going to just sell the typical “using dinning dollars at Wawa” pitch.

Where do you go after a rough day of classes? Or when you need an hour to relax and just be yourself?

Late Night Dining. Universal PENNCASH acceptance. Freshman representation to the Undergraduate Assembly and Penn Administrators… WE are here to represent YOU!

Dear PENN15, My name is Amanda Culp. I am running for a spot on the Undergraduate Assembly. If elected to the UA my main goal is to help all of you, my fellow PENN15ers, have the best possible experience here at Penn that you can.

Frances Kissling, a visiting bioethics scholar at Penn and pro-choice Catholic, discussed the abortion issue first as a Catholic and then as an ethicist.

If you’re wondering how to pronounce my name, it sounds like prom with a ‘B’ (Brom). I want to be a freshman representative to the Undergraduate Assembly because I’ve always loved student government, I’m well qualified, and I have some ideas you’ll appreciate.

I want to eliminate confusion. I want to see Penn InTouch and the other online portals streamlined to ease navigation.

A UA representative is someone who listens to the needs of the student body and works with university administration to create impactful change.

My name is William Stern and I am running to be your UA representative. I promise to work hard and achieve tangible, productive change that our class can be proud of.
