Hi! I’m Ari and I am a Junior at UofM studying Neuroscience and Spanish on the premed track. Since joining the ICC in 2024, my passion for fostering equity, communication and collaboration has flourished. Serving as my house’s Kitchen Manager and a member assistant on FinCom, motivated me to take on the Vice President of Operations position. I’m looking forward to spending the year improving the operational functioning of the ICC and working together to create a more sustainable, equitable and cooperative future.
