Pooja’s Story 

“Currently I serve Georgia Tech’s Student Government Association as the Vice President of Internal Affairs where I really try to work to make the Student Government Association cohesive as a body. My biggest goal for the organization is that we develop a sense of community, not just for own sake but to better impact the Georgia Tech community as a whole. People are the most productive when people are happy and being happy is important. If you can leverage that, there is no limit on what you can achieve. Since many people come from different parts of campus and may not know people in the organization, it’s important to cultivate friendships so that they stay connected to the organization. I decided to bring back big-little’s where we pair people together with similar interests. This way we can eventually accumulate an alumni database and then connect those alumna with current members and invite them back for events. This along with an all-branches meeting stemmed from my experience in Greek Life. It has that sense of community, strong friendships and great alumni base that I’m hoping for in SGA.”
