Rich Pandya

During his time at UMD, Rich Pandya joined the Zeta Psi Fraternity, transferred into the Robert H. Smith School of Business, and worked closely with Dr. Zeinab Karake to lead Team Cloud 9.1. He has held the Diversity & Inclusions Chair position in the Zeta Psi Fraternity, where he helped to recruit their largest and most diverse new member class in Spring 2022. Working as the student lead of Team Cloud 9.1 has allowed Rich to pursue his professional interests outside of the classroom, and he plans to obtain an AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification by the end of the Fall 2023 semester.
