I co-founded this organization in the Fall of
2003 with a group of 10 highly-motivated undergrads who were also interested
in the concept of the organization. Through hard-work and dedication
to making the organization grow, SEMA has already been a huge success.

active members.
Under my leadership, SEMA developed a number
of activities and programs that will continue into the future, including a
