Hi! I'm Shanthi Bhaskar, a junior majoring in Computational Biology at Pitt! This is my first year being a part of SGB and I'm very excited to serve on the board. Alongside my work with SGB, I'm a member of the Student Civic Engagement Council in the Office of PittServes, a research assistant at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and a part of the Student Health Advisory Board. In my free time, you can find me at most Pitt Women's Volleyball Games, watching lots of basketball (go Sixers!), swimming, or baking to unwind from the week.

What's your hot take?

If you don't have your indicator/blinker on, your car can't turn.

If you could be a food, what food would you be and why?

I would be a bagel because you can enjoy it at any meal, and it can be sweet or savory. Plus, bagels can be as indulgent or healthy as you want.

What's your favorite place on campus?

The lawn outside of Cathy.
