Emma Esposito
CO-CHIEF PROGRAMMING OFFICER
Hey y’all! My name is Emma Esposito and I am a sophomore from Raleigh, NC. I am studying Political Science and History, but am also interested in European (specifically German) studies, and anything international history! Last year, I was a SIAS Programming Fellow and this year, I am excited to be a Chief Programming Officer. I also travel with the MUN team, help out with social media, and serve as the USG of General Assemblies this upcoming SMUNC. This year, I am excited to eat Canes at UNCMUNC and host some spectacular professor chats! I also love to make pottery, get an açaí bowl, or pet my dog.

Justin Ahn
CO-CHIEF PROGRAMMING OFFICER
Hi! I'm Justin, a rising sophomore majoring in International Relations. I was a board fellow last year, and this year I'm serving as Chief Programming Officer alongside Emma. This year, I'm excited to bring back our favorite events, from trivia night to an SF trip, and broaden out our roster of professor chats. Outside of SIAS, I like to run, practice guitar, surf for articles, and argue!

Hi I'm Mandy Yang! Sophomore interested in economics, fintech, startups, global affairs, and art (mostly visual: painting, photo, video)! Previously programming fellow, currently deputy programming officer. I love to travel (with the MUN team or solo) and adventure. This year, I am thrilled to do more outreach for the SIAS community: chatting with professors, collaborating with other clubs, creating mentorship programs, along with retreat, trivia nights, meeting Frosh (aka future FSOs), & potentially skydiving with the team!
