Current Position: UISG Executive Diversity Liaison
Class: College of Liberal Arts & Sciences (B.A. Economics)
Hometown: St. Louis, MO

As the 2012 University of Iowa Student Government (UISG) Diversity Liaison, Sauvik Goswami implemented the UISG "Get To Know Me" campaign. Get To Know Me is a diversity campaign that focuses on setting aside fears, insecurities, and stereotypes about other cultures and truly getting to know your peers.

"Diversity goes beyond our race or our religion," said Goswami. "Every individual is diverse through his or her own unique experiences and identities."

The campaign was kicked off during "On Iowa!" with a high impact video showing vignettes on overcoming stereotypes. Additional students are also invited to participate in the Get to Know Me Challenge.

"I am really proud of the work that was put into this campaign." Goswami continues, "the best thing about being on UISG and working on Get To Know Me is getting a chance to work with the other executives, senators, and administrators who are so passionate about their roles at Iowa."

In addition to serving as the Diversity Liaison for UISG, Goswami also served as the Captain of his Hawkeye Bhangra team for two years, and as the Vice President for the Indian Student Alliance.
