At Penn, we live in a diverse community with all sorts of people--people from the Upper East Side, people from the Upper West Side, people from as far as Brooklyn…In all seriousness, though, we go to school with people from all over the world and with a huge range of experiences--including living as an undocumented American.

Wharton senior Tania Chairez was just named the second most inspiring Latina under 25 for her work in coming out and representing undocumented Americans. Chairez was arrested in 2012, but is still fighting for the rights of people like her today. UTB would like to recognize and applaud Chairez for this incredible achievement. Seriously, your citation over Fling weekend has nothing on this. We'd also like to note that Chairez was a full four spots above Selena Gomez--which we’ll just let speak for itself.
