My name is Syed Ali and I am currently a member of the Class of 2013 at Wesleyan University.  I am majoring in English and Government.  In English, my concentration is Theory and Literary Forms, although I am also strongly interested in American Literature and Creative Writing.  In Government, I am concentrating on International Politics as I am specifically interested in United States foreign policy and international organization.   I am also pursuing Wesleyan’s Certificate in International Relations.

I am a contributor/editor at the independent student blog Wesleying.  I was also a Staff Writer for the college newspaper, The Wesleyan Argus during my freshman and sophomore years.

Since the spring of 2011, I have been a member of  the Wesleyan Student Assembly (WSA) as an at-large representative.  This year, I am serving as the WSA’s Information Technology Coordinator, chairing the Information Technology Committee (ITC).  As Information Technology Coordinator, I also serve on the newly revived Organizational and External Affairs Committee (OEAC).  I have been taken the Information Technology Committee in a new, stronger direction this year.  We plan to reevaluate existing technologies, improve communication and outreach with the student body, and explore as many innovative ideas as we can.  If you are interested in contributing, please let me know.  If you are a Wesleyan student and have any issues that you would like the WSA to address, please do not hesitate to contact me.
