  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. I’ve been involved in various projects and programs over the last three years such as founding the International Students Center, data collection for the SenseMaker project, Customs, International Students’ Orientation, SoHo and general budgeting. Outside of the OMA, you can find me dancing with Bounce, making the perfect cup of Chai and putting together grad school apps!

  Hello! My name is Aishah Collison-Cofie and I am a junior sociology major and health studies minor from Virginia. My focus in the OMA this year lies within remote programming for students off campus. However, please feel free to ask me about event planning on campus, leadership (specifically with affinity groups), issues about cultural sensitivity, appropriation etc. I am dedicated to creating safe spaces for everyone and am involved in campus activism (specifically Black Students Refusing Further Inaction - BSRFI). When not doing OMA work you can find me in the Black Cultural Center (BCC) having a good time!

  Frances Condon '21
  Anthropology Major, Health Studies Minor
  OMA Intern: 2018–Present
  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 :)
