Major: English

I am a sophomore looking to pursue a degree in English. While my interests and expertise run more parallel to the discipline of creative writing, my time at Penn has allowed me to develop an interest in journalism and print media in general which I fully intend to cultivate over the course of my undergraduate career. I am also involved with Penn's feminist literary magazine The F Word and the Daily Pennsylvanian. In my spare time I enjoy reading novels and plays, visiting museums, quoting T.S. Eliot and marathon napping.

Year: 2011
Major: Finance

I'm a junior studying Finance and Computer Science, and I'm involved with the Weiss Tech House, Wharton India Economic Forum, and the Japanese Student Association among other organizations here at Penn. Working with the Record was a logical extension for me having been the editor for my high school yearbook, and it's lent me a great balance to channel my instincts for design and creativity. I've always been driven by the image in the back of my mind of a beautiful product at the end and I can definitely say that the yearbook has helped me make more out of my overall university experience. It's been incredibly rewarding thus far, and I hope to continue expanding on my work and growing as a designer.

Major: Sociology

I joined yearbook because I love photography. Being able to use my skill to preserve memories on behalf of the student body is amazing. Outside of Yearbook, I'm Political Co-Chair for UMOJA; Paul Robeson Fellow; Civic Scholar; ASE mentor/tutor; Du Bois House Council member. If I had a full day to myself, I'd catch up on leisurely reading—I've read all the sociological journal articles I can take for one semester! Also, I'd try replicating an interesting recipe and serve it to my friends and family—cooking is very relaxing for me! The issue I'm most passionate about is urban education policy and funding. It is my belief that each child in America should be eligible to receive an excellent public education. Someday, I'd love to work with the United States government to ensure that this goal comes to fruition.

I am a junior and a Peer Advisor for the freshman class. I plan on concentrating in Journalism, Literature and Print Media while pursuing a Fine Arts minor. I love writing and design, so the yearbook attracts me like the proverbial moth to a flame. When the brain's natural memories start to fade, the yearbook will remain as the record of every student's years at Penn. The placement of the words and the pictures on the page continually captivate me.

Apart from our brand new website and efforts to increase awareness across campus, our goal for this year's book is to create a photo journalism inspired book that will help seniors relive memories years to come from now.

Major: Biological Basis of Behavior

I joined the yearbook staff because I wanted to use my photography skills to help produce something that would capture student life at Penn. Having moved around quite a bit, I've learned the importance of yearbooks. I enjoy taking photos of events that I normally wouldn't go to and being part of a diverse community. At Penn, I plan to study Biological Bases of Behavior and might even pursue a minor in photography.
