Fellow:Vivian Wu
Hello!
I am a junior at Binghamton University in the School of Management, majoring in Accounting and Management Information Systems. I have a passion for purpose-driven businesses that are socially and environmentally conscious. I love to identify problems, think creatively, and propose empowering solutions. My academic studies have allowed me to understand and apply accounting and information technology concepts. My role as a Teaching Assistant for Financial Accounting has allowed me to refine these concepts and teach incoming freshmen and sophomore. I also enjoy empowering incoming transfer students with the guidance and resources they need to succeed as a Transfer Student Mentor in the School of Management.
Outside of the classroom, I am very involved with Enactus, an international social entrepreneurship organization, as the President of the Enactus chapter at my university. I have had the great honor of serving as the Co-Founder and Program Director for the Startup Incubator/Venture Accelerator Project and Research Analyst for the Countywide Entrepreneurship Grant Program. In an effort to drive social change in the realm of local politics, I have co-founded a 501(c)(4) student startup that seeks to innovate electoral politics called Generation Vote. Directing my attention to combat food insecurity and poverty in Binghamton, I currently serve as the Business Director for the Many Hands Food Cooperative, Inc. and have helped raised over $35,000 in grants and sponsorships to finance the development of the cooperative.
During my free time, I enjoy traveling to new places, exploring areas for self-improvement, watching comedic and dramatic plays, venturing into new ideas and startups, and reading non-fiction books.
