Lena Chen is a third-year sociology major at Harvard, where she is best known for her popular blog, SexAndTheIvy.com.
She has contributed to a variety of online and print publications, including The Boston Globe Magazine, Hustler Magazine, CollegeHumor.com, and thePEEQ.com. She is also the founding editor of O.T.R. Media, a network of news and entertainment blogs for college students.

In August 2006, she started penning the blog SexandtheIvy.com while a sophomore at Harvard. Her first-person accounts of sexual experiences, depression, and the true state of undergraduate life at the world’s premier academic institution spurred campus discussion, prompted media attention, and garnered a loyal following. Quickly becoming a controversial figure, she has been criticized by some as “morally reprehensible” and praised by others for encouraging frank sexual dialogue.

With a daily readership of over 1,000, SexandtheIvy.com has been syndicated on mtvU and Revolution Health, quoted on countless other blogs and websites, and nominated for multiple awards. Lena has been featured on television, radio, online media, and in numerous national and Ivy League publications.
