Global Union President and VP
Bios
Tobi Fadipe (President)
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Hello all! My name is Tobi Fadipe and I am the current Vice President of Global Union as well as holding a position as a Student Building Supervisor at the Hale-Andrews Student Life Center. I am aspiring to be the President for Global Union during the 2024-2025 academic year alongside Aniruddha (Ayon) Roy as my Vice President. I am a junior Psychology major with my interests currently being in Biopsychology and Cognitive Psychology, but I am also pursuing a minor in Global Public Health. Being an international student, I have a responsibility to myself as well as all those who have helped me get this far, both at college and before college. This shows both in my work in Global Union the past two years as well my involvement with global, international, and cultural clubs on campus such as the Organization of African Students, Caribbean Students Association, Global Public Health Association, and Unity House. I am a big sports fan with my favorite being soccer (football) as I both watch and play it, but I also enjoy watching basketball. Music is also a big part of me because it helps me stay connected to home when I am away and helps me learn about other people’s cultures.
Aniruddha Roy (VP)
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Hello everyone! My name is Aniruddha Roy, and I'm currently a sophomore at RIT, majoring in Computer Science. Originally from Bangladesh, I was immediately drawn to RIT Global Union (GU) upon my arrival. GU stood out as an organization that embodies a spirit of inclusivity and support for international students. I was so impressed by their vibe that I started attending all their events and even volunteered to help out.
