- From Rithvik: “As I am applying for PhD positions across the country, I will have to travel quite a bit this semester to attend in-person interviews and this will create conflicts and won’t give me any free time to attend meetings or events. Since, I will not be able to uphold the standards you set for the board members this semester I also believe it will be a good time for me to leave the position of Treasurer.”
