Here’s a little about Fareesa Dar’s experience being on the board this year:

I'm one of the publicity chairs for the EKTA cabinet and have been involved with EKTA since my first year here at Smith. I love being able to connect with my culture while being away from home, and helping other people on campus with the same. Being a publicity chair has been really different but fun to be able to design posters for events. One of my favorite parts about being in EKTA is learning about other South Asian cultures and getting to know more about how diverse South Asia is!

EKTA Cabinet Elections for 2019-2020 is here! Blurbs are due tonight by midnight.

Here’s a little about Dhami Samikshya’s experience being on the board this year:

I am one of the first year representatives for the EKTA cabinet. EKTA has been an important part of my Smith experience so far. Not only do I have a better understanding of what goes into creating a successful event at Smith, but also a greater appreciation for the culture and diversity of the South Asian region. EKTA events and meetings always make me feel closer to home. As a part of the cabinet, I get the chance to contribute to making others feel the same and I love every part of it!

Here’s a little about Urvi Savant’s experience being on the board this year:

I’m one of the publicity chairs for the EKTA cabinet, and what I like most about my job is the close circle of friends I've made. It feels nice to be able to maintain that cultural connection with others when we're all far from home, and I like being part of the effort to provide that same resource for the rest of the general body. Being part of EKTA has been important to my experience at Smith, and I've made many connections and learned a lot through my roles in planning and publicizing events.

Lots of dancing and good food

We had our first GB Meeting and Cabinet meeting for the semester today! Thank you to all who attended! We’re planning several more fun events this semester so look out for those as well!
