PAACH's Explore. Reflect. Become. Lunch Series 3/5 Session: David Deng ✨️

David is a senior in the College studying American History with a minor in Asian American Studies. He was born and raised in Central Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin for his freshman year before transferring to Penn in the Fall of 2022. Despite the change in scenery, he still bleeds orange and will proudly back any Texas sports team (minus the Texans and Astros). Academically, he is interested in Asian American jurisprudence, politics, and the judiciary, and would gladly expound on who he thinks is the worst Supreme Court justice of all time. In his free time, he likes to play tennis at the Hamlin Tennis Center, cycle through Lana Del Rey’s discography, and read historical nonfiction on the 4th floor of VP.
