Internal

MEET THE Chair of Internal Affairs

Maritza Hernandez

I am a sophomore in the College majoring in Fine Arts for Graphic Design and Photography and minoring in Consumer Psychology and Hispanic Studies.

In the community, I serve as the Internal Chair of the Latinx Coalition, the Publicity Chair of Festival Latinx 2018 and 2017 and the Creative Chief of La Vida Magazine.

Outside of the Latinx community, I am involved in PENNCAP, a program for First-Generation, Low-Income students, through my work-study position as a 2017-2018 Peer Counselor to 12 first year students.

My position as the Internal Chair of the LC allows me to interact with the LC's constituency and the leaders within the community through programming and General Body Meetings, while also allowing me to celebrate our community's achievements and address our disparities in a more formal aspect.

I hope to contribute to the strengthening of the Latinx community at Penn as a united, powerful force that cannot go unnoticed among our peers and administrators.
