Aviv's Introduction #1

My name is Aviv Gilboa and I am a senior at UC Berkeley studying Political Economy and Entrepreneurial Leadership. I was born and raised in Los Angeles California and was heavily involved in my Jewish community back home as I attended Jewish private school up until college. After coming to Berkeley, I became involved with a number of different organizations and activities ranging from social, academic, professional, and extra curricular. During my freshman year, I joined a social fraternity, Delta Chi, became involved in Hillel, the center for Jewish life on campus, and began getting acquainted with the ASUC, Berkeley's student government. During my sophomore and junior years, I took on leadership roles in each of those organizations. I served as the recruitment chair for Delta Chi for three consecutive semesters, founded and became president of a student led organization called TAMID Israel Investment Group that seeks to connect American college students with Israel's economy, and served as an ASUC Senator where I was elected to represent the 37.000 students at UC Berkeley on our legislative body as the chair of the External and University Affairs committee. As a senior, I am continuing my work with all of these organization and activities respectively while also trying to explore new and unique experiences during my last semester. I have truly tried to take advantage of every opportunity at UC Berkeley both in a out of the classroom and have enjoyed every second of it. Here's to making lasting memories during my last semester as an undergraduate! Cheers!
