Hey Gauchos, I’m Suchetha and I am one of the chairs for CAB this year! I’m a third year Communication and Stats double major, and I am so excited to make a difference at UCSB and the greater community. Being a part of CAB has taught me many valuable skills, both tangible and intangible, and I am honored to give back to our community through this organization. In my free time, I like to hang out with my friends, watch TV/go to the movies, and be outside! If you are interested in CAB or have any questions, feel free to contact me at as-cabcochair@ucsb.edu.

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.
