Siddhi's all smiles for a new year with the UHP!
Siddhi’s all smiles for a new year with the UHP!

Hello, my name is Siddhi Salvi! I am a senior (yikes!) double concentrating in Business Economics and Public Policy as well as International Business in GWSB. I was born in India, lived in Wyoming for 4 years, and now call Nashua, NH (as well as DC) my home. At first the honors program scared me. I did not have a strong literary background and hadn’t read any religious work, ever. To put my ignorance in perspective, I didn’t even know who Adam and Eve were or what the significance of the “apple” was in the Bible. With that being said, I am proud to say that I have now read and analyzed the Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Quran, Saint Augustine, and many works by well-known philosophers. As a business student, I find it crucial to use the transferable skills that classes in the Honors Program (including Origins) teach to expand my way of thinking. Obviously none of this could have been done if it wasn’t for Catherine and Liz, who seriously have been a god send. Now obviously my life is not the Honors Program (although I basically live in the townhouse during exams), so for fun I enjoy eating my way through DC, exploring the city, and playing with my wonderful friends! I am so grateful for all this university has given me and am stoked for my final year!
Siddhi’s SPAcialties: Business School students; general scheduling/requirements; stress management; searching for on campus jobs; balancing work and play; typical #Honorsproblems (including not always knowing everything, adjusting to a new school/year, not knowing exactly how everything will work, etc.)
