In November 2025 I co-founded the Information and Decision Sciences Student Organization (IDSSO) at UIC and served as its president through May 2026. I set the organization’s vision and structure, recruited and developed a seven-officer leadership team, and grew membership to 45+ through brand development, community engagement, and partnerships with student organizations and industry contacts. We produced IDS inFOCUS 2026, the organization’s case competition and industry summit, where I moderated the industry panel. A spring professional development series followed, with a sold-out Career Signals Certification Panel and an Agentic AI Applied to Marketing workshop with UIC faculty. More at idssochi.org.
