Society for the Advancement of Management

I am a marketing officer for the Society for Advancement of Management. I helped to design a website for the club's upcoming Business Idea Challenge, and I regularly help spread the word about SAM meetings and events through on-campus posters and viral marketing. In addition, I helped out in the two bake sales that we held during the spring 2007 semester by bringing food as well as selling it to members of the NJIT community. Further, I am writing for the SAM newsletter, which will be published later this year. My article covers the major events happening in SAM, for which I regularly take minutes of the meetings.

Technology Observer

The Technology Observer is the technical publication of the Albert Dorman Honors College. I wrote three articles for the current edition of the Technology Observer. The topics were facial recognition software, stem cells, and nanorobotics. The articles were researched and written during the fall semester, and edited early this year. Graphics for the articles were also found in the duration of the spring 2007 semester. For one of the articles, I interviewed a local small business owner who deals with facial recognition. The article on stem cells was inspired by a research project that I did in high school, and I supplemented the basic information that I already knew with the latest online updates and research developments. My nanorobots article makes a solid connection between nanotechnology used for medical purposes and tiny robots with many uses, including medicine and surveillance. I plan to continue writing for the Technology Observer, as well as branching out into design and layout for the next edition.

Honors College Recruitment Committee

I served as co-chair of the Recruitment Committee during the fall 2006 semester. During this time, I attended the open houses held by NJIT for prospective students, answering questions and helping the prospective students and their parents understand what NJIT, and specifically the Honors College, has to offer. I was able to compare my experiences as a transfer student from Rutgers-New Brunswick and explain the benefits of NJIT over other colleges, helping those trying to decide between different colleges in this area.

Economics Research

During the fall 2006 semester, I worked as part of a team to write a software program to accurately predict the outcomes of sequential games with asymmetric players using the principles of economic game theory. My mentor was Prof. Chou, who was conducting this research in the School of Management. Before I could undertake the project, I spent hours with my mentor learning the basics of game theory and how it could be applied to national affairs such as the prevention of global warming.

Honors Lounge Committee

I served in the Honors Lounge Committee during the fall 2006 semester as a lounge monitor for one and a half hours a week. I made sure that no abnormal activities took place in the honors lounge, and that valuable equipment was not damaged.
