Hello!!! I’m Sneha, a double major in Molecular Genetics & Public Health, from Mumbai-India. (Well, I lived on Long Island, NY for 2 yrs) My most cherished hobbies are dancing and making portraits and I’m currently taking piano lessons at Eastman. UR was the right choice for me for several reasons - academic (open curriculum/medical research) and otherwise (diversity, size and opportunities) - that led me to believe it is the best environment where I can grow and nurture my interests. I am actively involved in several organizations on (and off) campus in areas of academics, leadership, community service & Greek life. Student government happens to be one such commitment! I ran for senate as a freshman and served on Projects and Services, URSHAC (student health advisory) and SAAC (Appropriations) committees. As a senator, I played an active role in specific projects such as getting cheaper textbooks, updating the DVD library, reporting residential areas requiring renovations, advertizing UHS services and addressing privacy issues at their clinics. I was also involved in budgeting for all SA funded clubs on campus and allotting money for their programming needs. It is a great honor and pleasure to be re-elected to office and I look forward to ensure continuation and constant improvement of my projects from last year and encourage involvement from and stronger communication with the student body! Meliora!!
