Welcome to Jess’ DEIA Corner 🙂 I’m Jessica Lin, C’23 and E’24. During my time at Penn, I was previously the DEI Coordinator and Tech Chair for PAC Exec and part of Glee, iNtuitons, and TAC-e.
This is a space dedicated to sharing engaging books, podcasts, TEDTalks, films, and articles that are relevant to DEIA. My hope is that these resources can spark change on the individual level through reflection and then impact the way we show up for our groups, the performing arts community, other Penn spheres, and in our personal lives in general.
Enjoy your backstage pass to all things DEIA! Feel free to reach out to me with feedback or your thoughts on the suggested content at jesslin@sas.upenn.edu.
