about the freshmen weekend committee

Isaac Otchere

Chairman / Commissioner of Inventory

Hi! I’m Isaac, and I’m the chair of the Freshmen Weekend (EJW) committee. My main job is to keep an overview of everything going on in the committee, support my teammates, and make sure everything runs smoothly so we can give you the best possible start to your time in Aerospace Engineering.

I can’t wait to meet you all during the EJW! Whether you’re excited, nervous, or both—we’ve got a great weekend planned to help you feel right at home.

Outside of the committee, I play rugby at Thor and I’m an Arsenal fan. And by the time your reading this we’re on our way to winning the Champions League!
