My Time With SESB

October 11th, 2024

The Science and Engineering Student Board is dedicated to representing the student body of the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Serving as a liaison between students and administration, we strive to enhance the overall student experience. Since my involvement began in Fall 2021, I have had the privilege of contributing to various initiatives aimed at supporting the students of CSE.

Fall 2021 - Spring 2022

I initially joined SESB as a member of the First Year Initiative and subsequently transitioned to the role of Sub-Director of Academic Affairs. In this capacity, I facilitated student surveys and communicated their concerns to the administration. By the spring semester, I advanced to the position of Director of Academic Affairs, where I organized study nights and other outreach events to assist students in their academic success.

Fall 2022 - Spring 2023

I then served as Co-Director of the First Year Initiative, where I implemented a new strategy for recruitment and retention that significantly increased SESB membership. Additionally, I restructured the First Year Initiative sub-director program by introducing an interview process and a training program to familiarize members with university resources. To support students, we organized events such as resume workshops, study nights, and various other activities aimed at enhancing their academic and professional skills.

Fall 2023 - Spring 2024

In Fall 2023, I was elected as the Communications Director of SESB. In this role, I work to bridge the gap between administration and the board while promoting our events in collaboration with other student organizations within the College of Science and Engineering. This academic year emphasizes establishing a strong presence on campus, particularly across diverse majors and backgrounds, to ensure our discussions are representative of the entire student body.
