SUCHETHA KALLURI, CO-CHAIR

Hi, my name is Mandy Hitchcock, and I am the CAB Co-Chair for the 2022-2023 term. I am a third-year, double major in Communication and Sociology, and since joining CAB my second year here at UCSB, I cannot emphasize enough how much this organization has given me. I think it is so important to recognize the opportunities we have had presented to us and, in turn, give back to the community that makes up where we live, work, and create a life for ourselves. I am truly grateful for having the chance to give back through my role this year.
