Hailey  tyson - President 

Email: xe.sdsu@gmail.com
Hi everyone! My name is Hailey Tyson and I am a senior Civil Engineering student. Currently, I have an internship with Chen Ryan Associates on the Design Team and have had past experience interning at CalTrans in the Traffic Safety Division. As President, I oversee all the officers as well as handle communications with Chi Epsilon Nationals. I wanted to become President of Chi Epsilon because joining this organization has been one of the highlights of my college career and I hope to make it a highlight for our current and future members. Chi Epsilon not only allows you to network with professionals in various disciplines, gain necessary skills to land engineering internships, and opportunities for giving back to the community, but it also fosters life-long friendships with your peers and your future co-workers. This year I hope to see, as many of the excelling students in Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering join, as it is such a prominent organization in the professional industry.

Hi everyone! My name is Olivia Gonsman and I am a senior studying EnvironmentalEngineering. I am originally from the Bay Area and love to ski and hike when I can! I am currently interning at Countywide Mechanical Systems, which is a construction company that focuses on mechanical and HVAC work. I have also interned at the San Diego Water Quality Control Board and Elevated Solar, which builds solar carports. At San Diego State, I am not only involved in Chi Epsilon, but also ASCE’s environmental and concrete canoe team, American Water Works Association (AWWA), and Tau Beta Pi. I am very excited to serve as your Vice
President for the Fall 2018! As Vice President, I am here to make your experience joining Chi Epsilon as fun and rewarding as possible. Throughout my time in Chi Epsilon, I have met many
life-long friends and industry professionals that will help me in my future endeavors. I hope to make everyone’s experience in Chi Epsilon as great and fulfilling as mine has been!

theodore  tseu- Secretary

​Email: xe.sdsu.secretary@gmail.com
I’m Theodore Tseu and I am a fourth-year Civil Engineering student with interest in transportation; I currently work at Chen Ryan Associates as a Traffic Operations Intern. Since I was young, I have always been fascinated with the process of creating the larger-than-life structures that surround me: skyscrapers, bridges, and highways, to name a few. Through numerous events and networking opportunities, Chi Epsilon has provided me with countless opportunities and experiences to grow towards my goal of working on these types of projects. As secretary, my job is to make sure that all of our initiates, members, and alumni stay up-to-date with our events. Outside of XE, I am the Membership Chair for ASCE, as well as a member of the Steel Bridge, Transportation, and Surveying teams. I also like to play the guitar, listen to music, and backpack.

Javier  Lopez - Treasurer

​Email: xe.sdsu.treasurer@gmail.com
Hello! My name is Javi López and I am a Senior Environmental Engineering major. I moved to San Diego from Corona, California, in order to pursue a career in sustainability and water resources. As Treasurer, I am responsible for budgeting this chapter and ensuring we have the funds to host and attend many great events such as camping retreats and the Pacific District Conference. What I enjoy most about this chapter are the opportunities to participate in events outside of required classwork and bonding with other Civil, Environmental, and Construction students. Also, I am an officer of ASCE and I am involved with its Environmental Team for PSWC. When I am not working my internship, or roaming South Park, you can find me in the Engineering Lounge being a dingus and promoting veganism. I will be learning
how to rock climb and surf this semester, and if you are interested in doing either, let me know!

tasneem  sadeque - senior operations

​Email: xe.sdsu.soo@gmail.com
​Hi all! My name is Tasneem and I am a Civil Engineering major here at SDSU. I previously spent one year as XE's first Fundraising Chair, and afterwards I was appointed the first Senior Operations Officer. As SOO, my role involves being very behind-the-scenes of XE (and also behind a camera lens capturing XE events). I offer my long XE experience towards keeping the little details in place for overall smooth sailing, making sure each officer has the resources they need to fulfill their duties, and fostering a welcoming environment for our initiates + members. One of the best things I've gained from XE is having a space to engage myself comfortably in and to support others, which has given me opportunities to sustain club involvement, network with peers, and build invaluable friendships. In addition to XE, I am also involved in ASCE and EWB. While I tend to lay low, chances are you'll find me roaming across campus and around the Engineering Building or EIS Complex; so if you ever see me walking by, please do not hesitate to say hello!

Gabrielle  Hadzicki - Associate  Editor

Hi everyone! I am in my fourth year of Civil Engineering and expect to graduate this coming May. I am currently interning at Dokken Engineering in order to gain more experience in the transportation engineering field. As the Associate Editor, my main duty is to promote and maintain the image of Chi Epsilon around campus and online. I make sure that the website, instagram, and bulletin board are up to date with the most current information. In addition to Chi Epsilon, I am also involved in a number of other organizations at SDSU including Tau Beta Pi, Kappa Delta Sorority, and Mortar Board. I am so excited to serve on the executive board with my fellow members and meet the new initiates this semester!

ryan  chibidakis - Fundraising  Chair

Email: xe.sdsu.fundraising@gmail.com
Hi, my name is Ryan and I am currently a Senior at San Diego State University. I am currently interning at Dokken Engineering to learn about highway design. As the fundraising chair, my job is to organize fundraisers to help financially support Chi Epsilon’s events. My favorite part of XE is the opportunities that arise when you become involved. Whether its an academic, professional
or social event, the inclusive environment from XE is always there to bring out the best characteristics of its members. XE is a great way to get to know people with similar career interests as well as make friends and memories that will last well beyond your college years. I am proud to be a part of an organization with hard working, passionate members that support each other to be the best civil engineering students we can possibly be.

Hi everyone! My name is Hannah Mahfood and I am in my fourth year at SDSU studying environmental engineering with a minor in sustainability. This past summer I had the great opportunity to move to Richmond, VA and intern for DPR Construction where I worked on a project for Facebook. As Chi Epsilon’s marshal, I am responsible for planning the initiation ceremony and conclusion banquet, coordinating social events, and supplying meals at all of our events. I am excited to be living up to my last name MahFOOD by providing food for all our great members at our exciting events! Chi Epsilon has made such an impact on my college career in that it has fostered social, academic, and professional relationships with so many people across campus. I have made memories in Chi Epsilon that have defined my experience in college and I am looking forward to another great year in XE!

brooke  adams - delegate

Email: xe.sdsu.delegate@gmail.com
Hi, my name is Brooke Adams and I am a senior studying civil engineering.  I hope to pursue a career in construction after I graduate.  One of the most notable times of my college career was joining engineering clubs on campus.  I joined ASCE my sophomore year and have taken on the responsibility of the concrete canoe project acting as project manager for two years. I joined Chi Epsilon the second semester of junior year as a way to network with my future engineering peers. When I am not studying in the library with my Chi Epsilon friends or building canoes made out of concrete, you can find me at the beach or exploring cute places around San Diego.
