MEET THE E-BOARD: Meet Neha Iyer, a senior in Questrom studying marketing and information systems. She was born in the hot and humid city of Mumbai, after which she moved to the hotter and more humid city of Singapore, then, Manila and then on a whim decided to move to Boston, where she has been freezing for 3 whole years. Having spent her whole life adapting to new things - new schools, new countries, and new weather, Neha realized the importance of finding your community wherever you go. She found hers in Boston with the help of clubs and organizations on campus. She is actively involved in BU International Affairs Association, Model UN, peer advising, Residence Life and Mock Trial for 2 years in college.  This is what she has to say about her new role in Student Government: “I have had the pleasure of serving on several Executive Boards, doing my best to create a community for students at BU, but I realized that the best way to do so would be to serve, by default the largest student organization on campus - the Undergraduate Student Government at BU. I’m very excited to serve as your Executive VP this year, and cannot wait to make my home, feel like home to you. In the future, I hope to work in marketing, go to graduate school and think creatively for the rest of my life. In my free time, I like to cook, bake, paint, listen to anything from 80s music to heavy metal, and most importantly, read everything I possibly can. I love meeting new people and listening to them talk about their stories, so reach out or stop me if you see me speed-walking down Comm Ave!”
MEET THE E-BOARD: Meet Lukas Flores, a junior in Questrom studying finance and strategy, and minoring in statistics. Luka was born in Oregon but has Chilean and Colombian heritage. He lived in Chile through his elementary and middle school years and finished high school in Maryland before coming to Boston University. During his time here, he has been a mentor in the Questrom Ascend Fellowship, a Bloomberg terminal workshop instructor, and a member of the professional fraternity Delta Sigma Pi. How did Luka get involved in Student Government? This is what he has to say: “During the fall semester of my sophomore year, a close friend of mine invited me to attend a Senate meeting and learn what BU Student Government was all about. Having witnessed the passion with which student leaders tackle social issues on campus and their vision for BUUSG, I decided to get involved myself. As the new VP of Finance, I look forward to working with BU’s administration and student groups to develop more efficient and effective budgeting and money allocation systems. If I’m not at the BUUSG office or in class, you’ll probably find me at BU Central playing pool. I love discussing new and different ideas, so please reach out at any time!”
MEET THE E-BOARD: Meet Jessica Zheng, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in Political Science with a minor in History and Sociology. Jess was born in China and raised in Toronto, Canada before coming to Boston University in 2018. During her time at Boston University she has been a Tour Guide for BU Admissions, a member of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority Rho Chapter, as well as a dedicated member of the BU Student Government. Here are some words from your Vice President of Internal Affairs: "As a freshman, I was presented with a lot of choices, decisions and opportunities. From choosing between Warren or West to choosing what major to pursue, joining the BUUSG family has been one of the best choices I have made. Having been a Senator for the College of Arts and Sciences last year, I found the BUUSG not only a community to call home, but also the first line of offense and defense for students. This is why I chose to run as the Vice President of Internal Affairs. I look forward to strengthening relations between students and their representatives through creating a strong bond within Student Government. Feel free to reach out to me anytime or say hi if you see me running late for my 8AMs! I look forward to getting to know you all!"
