I believe we – engineers - can change the world for the better and USF provides all these opportunities!

Nischal Olety Nagesh

Hi there! My name is Nischal Olety Nagesh, I am currently a sophomore majoring in computer science and minoring in entrepreneurship. Since I am originally from Bangalore, I grew up my whole life around technology.  The concept of technology being able to help people develop and improve their lives, truly captivates me. Having seen computers go from boxes bigger than those that pizzas came in to smaller than a book, while still doing a lot more than it usually did, got me curious. I strongly believe that computers are now an inseparable part of our civilization and having mastered this would give one the ability to impact and influence on a global scale. 

Why did I want to become a CSE Ambassador?

Besides wanting to impact lives in the future, I have always thought about ways I can start now, and this is why I decided to become a CSE Ambassador, to make a positive impact in the student experience. 

Clubs and organizations

One way that I try to make an impact in college is through participating in Student Organizations on Campus. I am proud to be the Vice President of the GDSC at USF where I actively pour efforts to build a strong tech community at USF. I look forward to doing the same as the CSE ambassador too. 

Fun fact about me

I speak 4 languages fluently and can comprehend 3 more.  Besides school, I like spending time at the gym, watching TV shows, travelling, clicking pictures and sometimes cooking. 

Advice for first-year students

For all freshman out there, I highly suggest you all #getinvolved on campus to have the best college experience. Everyone has something to offer, and that includes you!
