Congrats to Nicole Hoang!
Ms. Hoang is a native of San Jose, California and a senior at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies with a self-designed concentration in Civil Rights. She is Vietnamese American from a historically redlined neighborhood in Northside San Jose, where overlapping Vietnamese and Mexican communities shaped her early understanding of structural inequality.
Her background led her to public service early. In high school, she authored and championed the San Jose Youth Bill of Rights, which the City of San Jose later adopted in 2021. At Penn, Nicole has excelled in nationally competitive research fellowships, including the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, Point Foundation grant recipient, and Penn’s Asian American Studies Fellowship. Her academic work centers on civil rights with a special focus on Asian and Asian American history.
