Last but most definitely not least, please welcome our President for the 2020-2021 school year, Rohila Kusampudi!!! Rohila Kusampudi will be serving as the President of IGNITE at UCLA for the 2020-2021 school year! Rohila is a fourth-year student studying Psychobiology and hopes to pursue a career in the medical profession after graduation. Rohila started as a Membership Chair with Ignite in her freshman year and was immediately struck by the power of Ignite to bring like-m...inded, ambitious individuals together for an amazing cause. She found the national movement towards empowering womxn to run for office, increasing access to political platforms and processes, and striving towards greater inclusivity on all sides of the political spectrum to be a cause worth fighting for. Rohila hopes to work with her fellow board members to create real opportunity, awareness, and change at UCLA and beyond. See more
