If you click past the home page

of popular pornography website

Pornhub, an entirely different

image of the company appears. The

webpage, titled Pornhub Cares and

adorned with a little heart-shaped

icon, is the new side of Pornhub that

recently gave a $25,000 scholarship

to University of Michigan graduate

student Natalie Nevarez, according

to the Washington Post.

“Pornhub works hard to make

millions of people happy every

single day,” the website reads. “This

is no easy feat and we couldn’t do

it without some of the awesome

women on our team of developers,

engineers and analysts. We do,

however, recognize that women are

vastly underrepresented in tech,

with the latest diversity reports

estimating that women are filling as

little as just 20-30% of positions in

the field.”

The application involved

an essay and an optional video

to discuss the type of work an

applicant does. Pornhub Vice

President Corey Price said in a

statement that Nevarez, who is

finishing her Ph.D. in biopsychology,

was a perfect choice for the award.

“We wanted to do our part

in not only recognizing women’s

outstanding accomplishments in

the STEM fields, but also encourage

them to continue to achieve

both their academic and societal

aspirations and make the world

around us a better place,” Price

said. “Natalie embodies everything

we were looking for and more. Her

academic achievements in STEM

really stood out to us as did her

inspiring personal story to give back

and provide for her community.”

This is the second year the

scholarship has been offered. It was

announced to Nevarez she won the

award via video chat with Pornhub

Aria, a pornstar and spokeswoman

for the website.

Nevarez told the Daily she was

thrilled to learn she won the award.

“To me, it really is for paying off

debt and being able to move to a new

city,” Nevarez said. “I know it will

improve my quality of life and it’s

really going to help.”

As the daughter of migrant

farmers, Nevarez grew up moving

around California and Arizona

every six months so her

parents could follow

the seasonal crops. She

knew she didn’t want

that kind of life for

herself, and looked to

education as a way out.

“I basically just saw

an education as a way to

get out of that lifestyle,”

she said. “Neither of my

parents had finished

elementary school, so

I knew that was a big

contributor to why we

had the lifestyle we had.

… (Migrant work) is a

lifestyle that really takes

your parents away from

you and I didn’t want

that.”

Since then, her

educational journey has taken

her down many different paths.

Stephen Kunselman, a former

City Council member from 2006
to 2008 and from 2009 to 2015,
has declared his intent to seek
the Democratic Party nomination
for a council seat currently held
by
Councilmember
Zachary

Ackerman (D–Ward 3).

Kunselman, who is currently

an energy conservation liaison for

the University of Michigan, said
he intends to submit nominating
petitions
with
the
required

number of valid signatures early
this week. Kunselman lost in the
August 2015 Democratic primary
to Ackerman and lost the August
2008 primary to the current
mayor, Christopher Taylor.

“Having served 4 terms for 8

years on City Council, I am proud
of the many campaigns that I have
won, and lost, in the 7 campaigns
I have participated in since 2006,”

Kunselman wrote to the Daily. “I
am happy to do my part to ensure
the visions and positions of our
elected officials get the electoral
scrutiny they deserve.”

Kunselman
named
several

reasons for running, chief among
them his opposition to the Core
Spaces building proposal, the
closure of the city’s material
recovery facility and the city’s
redaction
of
communications

with
the
Federal
Railroad

Administration regarding a new

Amtrak station.

“I hadn’t anticipated running

again, but it became increasingly
clear
after
talking
with

downtown
business
owners,

neighbors
and
supporters,

that our City government is
going in the wrong direction,”
Kunselman wrote.

In an email with the Daily,

Dave Askins, the former editor of
the Ann Arbor Chronicle, wrote
Kunselman’s run will bring more
diversity and competition to the
race.

Kunselman’s
entry
will

also
raise
the
number
of

contested elections this year
to three, including in Ward 5
incumbent Chip Smith versus
David Silkworth, and Ward 4
incumbent Jack Eaton versus
Jaime Magiera.

Askins pointed out that each

candidate’s victory is contingent
on
how
much
they
could

energize their voter base. The
2015 primary was a close race,
with Ackerman winning by 40
votes.

“If neither Ackerman nor

Kunselman can get a large set
of a new kind of voter to go to
the polls in August, then the
outcome will likely again depend
on the ability of those candidates
to motivate their existing loyal
supporters,”
Askins
wrote.

“Those supporters have a clear
geographic
distribution


Ackerman has stronger support
in the Burns Park area of the
ward nearer downtown, and
Kunselman
enjoys
greater

support in the parts of the ward
farther from downtown.”
