Aadit is a U1 Statistics and Computer Science student and the President of the First-Year Council / U1 Representative for the academic year. In his free time, he loves to grapple, experiment in the kitchen, and play the drums. He can’t dance if his life depended on it.

Aadit practically lives at McLennan, please don’t hesitate to say hi if you see him there!!
