Student Advisory Board

A Voice for Students

Meet your 2025-2026 SAB

The Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering program is dedicated to the success of our students. To that end, we actively solicit input from students on areas of curriculum, facilities, academic support, equipment, teaching, and more!

Our Student Advisory Board is an elected body to represent YOUR thoughts to the department administration.

    Fourth Year-Chair

    I am a part of the Student Advisory Board to help the students have a voice about where they want their money to go. I want to be able to provide a way for all students to be able to gain access to the change they want to see on campus, and be able to advocate for what should be done for the students. Whether that be helping provide more learning opportunities or helping the students have access to the materials they need. I want to be able to be someone that the students can approach with their ideas.

    I like to help and build the culture of the College of engineering and support the students. It is very important for students to get hands-on learning opportunities and so I would like to work towards every student having the opportunity to professionally develop themselves in real world skills.

    My goal is to make clubs and other organizations more accessible to students. These groups provide experience and skills that make students more valuable job candidates and help them get the careers they want. Clubs also provide connections with other students and faculty that make college a more meaningful experience, as well as provide networking opportunities that can be essential in the future. I want to make sure that every student has the opportunity to get connected.

    The goal of my service on the Student Advisory Board is to amplify the voices of underrepresented students. I hope to achieve this through student outreach, connecting their requests with existing campus opportunities, as well as advocating for diverse, inclusive, and accessible extracurricular activities. Additionally, I hope to integrate more Service Learning courses into the curriculum to help students build a strong professional profile while being full-time students.
