Nisma Elias

Hi, there! Ny name is Nisma (which means 'cool breeze' in Arabic) and I come from a small but awesome city in Bangladesh - Dhaka. I'm currently a sophomore, leaning towards Economics but I love writing and am always trying to come up with new things to write about. ISAB is an organization which is very close to my heart, having benefited from its activities and events as a freshman and I look forward to continuing to do the same this year, albeit in a fresh way that engages everybody. If you ever have any questions or comments on what we do or what we should do, feel free to accost me (non-violently please) whenever you find me. ISAB is here to help International Students and the larger Reed community learn from each other and any suggestions, ideas, hate mail or rewards in my mailbox will be greatly appreciated.

Indu Manohar

Greetings and the Doyle Owl to you!
I'm Indu from India and this is my second year at Reed as either a physics or math major. My name means 'moon' in some early form of Tamil, and 'India' in Chinese and sounds like the word for 'indian' Spanish, I'm told, which makes my name pretty easy to remember :D
 
On ISAB this year, I'm going to be in charge of C3's - that's Coffee, Cookies and Conversation, a weekly get-together with other international students to talk about things we care about and things we love and also to plan awesome off-campus trips to places around Portland.
 
I am currently dividing my life at Reed between physics, swimming 30 laps two times a week, singing in the shower, dancing, looking at the stars, Spanish, walking in the canyon, soccer, long conversations in commons about the shape of the universe and the meaning of life.

Send me an email about cool stuff. Or the next time we walk past each other on the bridge, yell at me about the same cool stuff.

Shabab Mirza

Hello all
I'm Shabab, (also) from Dhaka, Bangladesh. On the left, you can see me riding a typically Bangladeshi garbage cart. Due to unfortunate space constraints, the photo does not reveal the glorious garbage cart in its entirety, just as this profile does not reveal my own personality in its entirety (good metaphor, eh? No? *grumble grumble*)

I'm a freshman, officially undecided about a potential economics major. I serve as 'Administrative Coordinator' for ISAB, which means I write minutes during the meetings, and send the minutes after the meetings, and do other very important and very administrative things.

I like croissants, Winnie the Pooh, spring in Beijing, molten ice cream, hand-made birthday cards, towels, Bollywood and novels by David Levithan. I hate unflavoured toothpaste. To find out more about me, or Bangladeshi garbage carts, feel free to holler at me in Sullivan III (or you may cyber-holler by electronic mail).

Hi, My name is Kritish. I am a sophomore from Nepal, intending to become an English major. I love reed and am having a great time out here. I like reading serious books (like some of those hum110 ones), playing pool and hanging out with other reedies. As a part of ISAB, I am always eager to help you with any issues regarding international students. I think ISAB plays a crucial role in better integration of international students into Reed. If you think I can be of any help, feel free to email me.
