My name is Ethan Rutta, and I am a junior studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am from Long Island, New York, where I was raised by my parents along with two sisters. Before starting at Penn, I took a gap year to learn about religious culture and texts while living in Jerusalem, Israel. In my free time, I love to read, hang out with friends, and primarily watch and play sports; I am a huge New York Sports fan and will almost never miss a Knicks game.
