"Throughout the year, I've had the opportunity to work closely with some of the most creative and hardworking individuals. Their commitment to excellence and their willingness to go above and beyond has been truly inspiring. Whether it was brainstorming ideas for events, tackling challenges, or celebrating our achievements together, every moment spent with them has been nothing but memorable."

"I believe that this year, as a part of this team, I accomplished many things that I couldn't have done alone. I grew, learned a lot about how collaboration can actually lead to impacting the community around us, and that if a person is dedicated, things are possible."

"I am very thankful for the opportunity to be part of this year’s GDSC team."
