Vice President Of Persian Student Associataion
As Vice President of the Persian Student Association, I supported the President in leading the organization and acted as second-in-command for all club operations. My role included coordinating executive board meetings, managing event planning logistics, fostering collaboration across committees, and representing the organization in campus-wide cultural and leadership councils. I also assisted with recruitment and member engagement, ensuring that the club maintained a welcoming and inclusive environment for Persian and non-Persian students alike.
This role taught me leadership, organizational strategy, and cross-cultural communication, which directly tie into my Business/MIS coursework. I learned how to:
-
Manage projects end-to-end, similar to overseeing business initiatives in professional settings.
-
Collaborate across diverse teams, aligning with concepts of organizational behavior and management.
-
Balance budgets and fundraising goals, reinforcing skills from accounting and managerial finance.
-
Leverage technology for outreach (social media, email campaigns, event registration platforms), which connects directly to MIS applications in business strategy.
Overall, serving as Vice President helped me apply classroom theories about leadership, communication, and systems management to real-world organizational contexts, strengthening both my cultural awareness and my ability to manage people and projects effectively.
