SAA Elects New Officers

Fifty members of the South Asian Association (SAA) elected its new officers earlier this week at a general meeting in Harvard Hall.

The new officers are Anurima Bhargava '96 and Reena R. Lawande '96 as co-presidents, Anshul M. Patel '96 as treasurer, Vivek H. Maru '97 as academic/political chair, Sanjay Shetty '96 as inter-ethnic chair, Sharon Sudarshan '97 and Vikaas S. Sohal '97 as gender issues coordinator and Mona Abraham '97 as international issues coordinator.

Bhargava said one of her goals was "to increase our political voice on campus to heighten awareness of SAA as an ethnic organization" via stronger relations with the administration and other campus groups.

The new officers also said they hope to increase membership and engage in community outreach.
