Hi everyone! My name is Koushik Sridhar and I will be one of your RLA’s for this upcoming school year! I am from Charlotte, NC and previously attended Ardrey Kell High School. I spend a lot of time at NCSSM doing a wide spectrum of things such as research, athletics, and cultural events. I am really into research in computational biology and would encourage you guys to take advantage of NCSSM’s multitudinous number of research opportunities. Last year, I was a part of a number of dance groups including Bhangra and ICIDIC, and I will be one of the captains for the reformed Broad Street Bhangra. In addition to that, I played Ultimate Frisbee last year (until I was derailed by injury). Whenever I’m not studying for my classes, I love to listen to music, eat outside on Ninth Street, and play outside or in the PEC. Welcome to NCSSM, where you will grow holistically as a person and as a student. My Co-RLAs and I are excited to have you on 3rd West, the best hall on campus! Feel free to swing by my room (303) and talk to me! I can’t wait to get to know you all this year!
