2012 Spotlight - Elizabeth Wessel

Elizabeth is a sophomore PPE major and minors in actuarial mathematics + Japanese. She is also an intern for the Campus Entrepreneurial Initiative and is Chief of Staff of the Penn Model Congress club, which she also recently helped with leading the 2010 High School PennMC conference. This year she spearheaded a new club--UPenn SEN (Social Entrepreneurial Network)-- that is receiving university-wide recognition. The goal of this club is to bring ethical businessmen, lawyers, doctors, etc. to speak to Penn students about using success to do good things. Additionally, she is the current social chair of Kappa Alpha Theta. Also, she is a proud sister of her West Philly Big-Brother Big-Sister (BBBS) sister, Ellen. Her lifetime goals have not yet been established; from interning for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign for one year (where she traveled with the Clinton family), to interning on Capitol Hill, to writing articles for the esteemed D.P., to single-handedly running a Bone Marrow Registration drive in Fall 2009, to her exciting new finance internship this summer in Japan, she is still trying to figure out what she will do with her life. If you have any suggestions at all, you can find her on locust walk with a large floppy purple hat and leggings that don't quite reach her boots. She is one stylin' academic diva!!
