Hi everyone! My name is Aboli Kesbhat and I will be serving as the Vice President of Operations on the Student Government Board this year. For the entirety of my time here at Pitt, I have served on the Allocations Committee and I have been so impressed with my peers and how they pour their hearts and souls into the missions of their organizations. As a board member this year, I will hold a little bit of every student organization in my heart in the places where big decisions are made. Aside from SGB, I am a Volunteer in the Hospital Elder Life Program, a Research Assistant at the Treble-Barna Lab at Children’s, the Business Manager of Omicron Delta Kappa, and a Student Ambassador for the Blue and Gold Society. I love engaging with my fellow Panthers and the greater Pitt community to create a world where everyone feels heard, accepted, and valued; this will be my goal as a board member and as a hopeful doctor, one day!
