ABOUT THE STUDENT PRESENTERS Abdul Razak, SAS’24 – Yasmin is a College of Arts and Sciences student planning on majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics as well as Sociology. Originally from Malaysia, Yasmin came to Penn to expand her academic knowledge but also, through dialogue and engagement with different social contexts, she was looking to develop a more diverse ideology and belief system. Maeve Gonter, N’24 – Maeve is a Nursing student with a specific interest in sexual and reproductive health who aspires to be a women’s health nurse practitioner and certified nurse-midwife. Maeve strongly believes in the value of a holistic, relationship-based nursing model that is based on establishing active dialogues with all patients as a way to help them build their own sense of long-lasting wellness. Andrew Chiang, SEAS’25 – Andrew is in the School of Engineering and Applied Science with a focus on Bioengineering. Andrew likes to create devices or solutions to medical problems to improve people’s lives and grapple with bioethical questions. He believes that since everything is learned through perspective, it is imperative to learn with others from different backgrounds and opinions so as to have a more holistic picture and understanding of both scientific and social topics. Elizabeth Weise, W’24 – Elizabeth is a student in the Wharton School hoping to major in Business, Economics, and Public Policy (BEPP). She is interested in law, politics, and policy, believing strongly in the necessity of civil and empathetic dialogue for meaningful change. Deepen your Penn experience as an SNF Paideia Fellow. Beginning in sophomore year, fellows integrate dialogue, wellness, service and citizenship through a structured combination of academic courses, co-curricular activities and hands-on experience. The SNF Paideia Fellowship Program is tailored to help students connect their general education and major requirements to public engagement and community building through meaningful dialogue across difference.
