Karthick Prem Satheesh Kamar
President
Hello! I’m a senior majoring in Neuroscience Sciences and Human Biology. I’ve been a team leader on weekend/weeklong experiences, an ebaord member, and now I would like to take ASB to the next level as president! I loved learning about the different communities in our world and their cultures. ASB has opened up so many opportunities for me to grow individually as well with others. I’m really excited to get more people from the MSU community involved and show them what ASB is all about!

Sam Stevens
Co-Vice President of Service
Hi! I’m a senior studying Genomics and Molecular Genetics & Human Biology with a minor in Religious Studies. I am on the pre-PA track. This is my second year as the VP of Service and I’m so excited for what is to come this year! I have been on two ASB experiences: Fighting Poverty and Combatting Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. My favorite part of ASB is meeting with all of our Community Partners and getting to know them and their communities better. I hope you have an amazing interaction with these special communities too!

Alex Gustafson
Vice President of Finance
Hey! I'm a sophomore majoring in Electrical Engineering and also participating in the Peace Corps Prep program. I love skating, cooking, traveling, and anything outside. I'm planning to serve in the Peace Corps after college in the environmental sector, which is one of the reasons I joined ASB! I went on the spring break "Raise the Roof" trip and helped build homes for those displaced by flooding during my freshman year. I had a great experience and worked with an amazing community, and met some amazing people. I'm looking forward to future trips and service events, and to helping other MSU students serve with ASB.

Audrey Kind
Co-Vice President of Service
I am a third year studying electrical engineering in the Honors College and I will be the VP of Service for Weekend trips! During the Combatting Domestic Violence experience I loved meeting new people. I am super excited to continue to help out the community, meet more people, and hopefully spread the word about ASB to more people!

Kylie Raynor
Co-Vice President of Education
Hi all! I am a Senior studying Human Biology on the pre-PA track with a minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation! I’ve been on multiple weekend experiences and one week-long trip where I loved getting to meet new people within the volunteer group and in the communities we served. Not only was the experience informative and enjoyable, but I was also able to gain a more well-rounded perspective on many communities and various social issues. I’m excited to continue taking initiative in community wellness/improvement, and make some cool things happen this year as Co-VP Education (weekend trips)!

Cordelia Kraus

Hi! I am a senior majoring in Physiology on the Pre-Med track. I’ve been on many ASB experiences, but my favorite has been leading our international trip to Costa Rica! ASB has opened me up to so many opportunities for me to grow individually as well as with others. I’m excited to send out more trips this year and give students a chance to volunteer in the community!

Hi everyone! I am a Junior studying Public Policy. I have been involved with ASB since my freshman year when I was a participant on a weekend experience. Throughout my time in ASB I have had so many amazing experiences and have met so many incredible, generous people. I am very fortunate and excited to continue to play a role in this extraordinary e-board and organization this year!

Mercedes Reuschel
Co-Vice President of Education
Hi!My major is human biology with minors in pharmacology and toxicology and health promotion on the pre-PA track. I have been on two experiences, one as a participant for fighting poverty weekend and the other as a site leader for the Fostering Youth and Development Through Play Centered Therapy week long. I loved both of these experiences as I was able to contribute to these communities in meaningful ways and able to meet amazing people. I’m very excited to educate site leaders and give them the tools to get the most out of their experiences.

I am a senior studying Neuroscience for Pre-Med! In my free time I love to hike or explore new places, whether it’s trying new foods or experiences.
