Hello everyone! I’m Tanisha Bansal and I’m from India, Kolkata. As an OMA intern my work focuses on two key areas- (1) making the OMA funding process accessible and equitable and (2) better supporting international students on campus.

Frances Condon '21

Office Hours: 10-11 a.m. on Tuesdays, 4-5 p.m. on Wednesdays

Hey all! My name is Frances (they/them or she/her) and I'm a senior anthropology major and health studies minor from NYC. With the OMA, I've worked on the wellness space, peer health program, and workshops/events related to healing for folks who are underserved and overworked on this campus. I'm passionate about making sure that students get as much money from this school as possible for projects, events, initiatives, ideas, dreams, etc. and are supported in the labor that goes into making them happen. When not doing OMA work or stuff for class, you can find me at the writing center, doing abolition-related work with SALT (formerly Rethink Incarceration), or trying to learn how to skateboard :)
