2018-2019 ACTIVE MINDS OFFICERS
Yusra Soomro
President
​
Hello Everyone! I’m currently a junior Accounting major exploring the business field. Upon having a two-minute conversation with me, you’ll most likely learn that I am a huge advocate for mental health. This obviously means I made a beeline for the mental health groups on campus. As someone who has seen the ins and outs of mental illness, I was delighted to find a club that wanted to raise awareness AND make a community of mental health advocates. I was finally home! I fully love and connect with the message that Active Minds spreads and I can’t wait to spread it throughout the campus!
Mian M. Tabarak Bilal
Vice President
​
Hi guys! I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve as one of your Vice Presidents for Active Minds throughout this school year. I believe that the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses is a huge flaw in our progress as a society. Hopefully through Active Minds, we will get to fight that stigma to create a healthier, happier campus where open conversation about mental health is encouraged and students are not overwhelmed. I am a senior, Neuroscience major with a passion for service and a goal to become a neurosurgeon one day. If anyone has any questions/comments/ideas for Active Minds, please let me know! I am looking forward to an amazing third year with y'all :)
Resham Panjabi
Treasurer
​
Hey guys my name is Resham Panjabi! I will be a senior in the upcoming year and will be serving as the Treasurer for Active Minds! Previously seeking a premed route through college, I recently switched to Finance and Economics. Nevertheless, I am super excited for this club in terms what we can offer and how we can be of utmost help to you!
Hussain Taqi
Secretary
​
Hey y'all! My name is Hussain and I'm thrilled to be working as an Active Minds officer this year! I'm a junior majoring in healthcare studies hoping to become a dentist *fingers crossed*. The reason I wanted to work with Active Minds is because I've seen several friends and family members go through various mental health issues and I have two main goals for them: 1) To make sure they aren't embarrassed to get help. 2) To help them learn about all the treatment opportunities available to them. I hope to start making a difference beginning at a college level and one day at a much larger scale!

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be your Publicity Chair this year! I'm a second year Visual and Performing Arts major, and I'm going into photojournalism. Mental health awareness has always been something I’ve been passionate about. I wanted to do my part in making a positive difference for our community by getting involved.

Aniruth Srinivasaraghavan
Event Coordinator
​
Hello friends! My name is Ani and I’m a junior biology major on the pre-med track. For the better part of my life, I hadn’t really noticed any discussion around mental health and this is especially true for university students. I hope to be part of a culture that will end the silence surrounding mental health discussions and I wish to do my part in fighting that stigma against mental health. I’m looking forward to being a part of active minds as your event coordinator!
