The Fun Squad is a team of paid student leaders who help bring energy and connection to campus life. They work with Julie Kailath, CMU-SV’s Associate Director of Student Services & Engagement, to plan everything from major events to small weekly activities. The group includes approachable, in-the-know peers you can talk to about ideas, feedback, and what you’d like to see more of on campus.
Your Fun Squad - Fall 2025

Student Photographer & Fun Squad Leader
MSSM student, III department | Fall 2025 Grad
Hi everyone! Fun Fact: I’m not a fan of being in front of the camera, which is why I’ve found my happy place behind the lens! This semester, I’ll be your student photographer. Together, let’s have a blast and keep the SV community buzzing with energy and good vibes!
Aaron Hsiung
Fun Squad Leader
MSSE student, ECE department | Spring 2026 Grad
Hi all! I’m excited to help make life at SV campus fun and supportive by connecting with you and spreading positive energy. I believe even small acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day. Outside of coding, you’ll likely find me outdoors—free-diving, hiking, or jogging to relax. Can’t wait to meet more of you and make great memories together!

I look forward to being a part of the fun squad because I think it's the best way to meet people. I love organizing events and seeing people enjoy the events we hold as a part of the GoINI team on the Pittsburgh campus. Since California has amazing weather, I look forward to being outside more and making good friends!
