Saahithi Kura

I am a volunteer research assistant at Professor Vidali's lab on campus and it has been an incredible opportunity! The lab's research focus is investigating how plant cells grow using the model organism P. patens (a type of moss). It has been the perfect way to develop both my wet-lab and computational research skills.

I am currently the secretary of our club! The BCB club has been an amazing way to meet other students in a small major. We host a wide range of events like alumni networking, career development, skills workshops, and social activities.

When I first joined WPI, I never expected myself to join a sorority! I have loved getting to know everyone in Alpha Gamma Delta and contributing to our philanthropy's focus of Fighting Hunger. In our chapter, I am the Director of Special Events. I help plan events such as formals, activities with alumni and families, and socials with other organizations.

The Panhellenic Council is the governing board for all sororities on campus! I am the Membership Development Chair. My role involves organizing events to foster relationships between sororities, assisting with pre-recruitment events, and encouraging positivity within and outside of the Panhellenic community.
