The CV Executive Council
Collegium V students play a major role in the operations of the honors program. An Executive Council is elected every spring by the students to assist the Director in planning the honors curriculum, operating the lounge, managing the program's computers, and scheduling extracurricular social activities. The following students serve on the Executive Council:
CV Executive Council
Olivia Cooper
I'm Olivia Cooper, a senior Political Science major and I am honored to be your speaker this year. I am originally from a rural town in eastern Oregon. This is my fourth year attending UTD and my fourth year on our CV Council. The events we organize and the culture we sustain with this program are part of why I've loved serving in this capacity. Outside of the honors college, I am also involved in the John Marshall Pre-Law Society as treasurer, and my future plan is to attend law school. In my free time, I can either be found with a dog by my side or a tennis racket in my hand. However, you are most likely going to find me at one of Texas's newly installed Dutch Bros coffee shops (a stereotypical Oregonian hangout).
Lane Hughes
My name is Lane Hughes and I'm a senior Biology major on the pre-med track. When I'm not busy with exams or watching shows, I enjoy volunteering around DFW and playing Nintendo games. I also serve as a National Merit Ambassador and the Recruitment and Tours chair of the UTD Student Ambassadors. As a side hobby, I enjoy collecting Lion themed things (my cat Hera included) & Converse; I've got a #UTDschoolspirit pair and I've officially completed the rainbow as of August 2022! I can't wait to show everyone when we get back to campus!
Aditi Manjrekar
I'm Aditi, and I'm a junior Neuroscience major on the pre-med track. Outside of the honors college, I work as an Emergency Department medical scribe, am involved in bioinformatics research, and an intern at Dr. Rypma's NeuroPsychometric Research Lab. In my free time, I enjoy traveling to new places, trying to bake, taking photos, and watching TV. If you ever need a TV show recommendation, I promise you I have multiple.
Joy Peng
I'm Joy, and I'm a senior Economics major on the pre-law track. Outside of the honors college, I'm an officer for Women Pursuing Law and a National Merit Ambassador. I also competed on the UTD Moot Court team for two years. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing with my cats, and learning how to cook.
Ciro Randazzo
I'm Ciro and I'm a senior Cognitive Science major and philosophy/chemistry minor hoping to pursue an MD/PhD. You may recall that I am from the Great State of New Jersey. On campus, I'm a PLTL leader for O-Chem and a National Merit Ambassador. I also work in Dr. McIntyre's learning & memory lab and play ultimate frisbee! I like reading, playing violin/guitar/ukulele, and being a “mom friend”. Also, my socks are very fun. If you see me around campus, don't hesitate to say hi and ask to see my socks!
Devin Schwartz
My name is Devin Schwartz and I'm a sophomore majoring in computer science with a minor in political science. This past year I’ve been involved with the Red Cross on campus and the fencing club, along with a few other organizations when I have the time. In my free time, I like reading, cross-stitching, exploring campus, listening to music, and playing games with friends.
Alison Spadaro
My name is Alison Spadaro, and I’m a junior math and physics double major from Pennsylvania. I’m involved in a variety of organizations on campus, including but not limited to Student Government, Mock Trial, Chi Alpha Iota Diaternity, and Students for the Exploration and Development in Space. Theoretically if I had free time, I would enjoy playing violin, reading, writing, painting, doing puzzles, and collecting flowers in Minecraft. Unfortunately, all of my “free time” is currently spent trying to stop my cat Ida from destroying my apartment, but maybe one day.
The Collegium V Constitution provides a framework for the privileges and responsibilities of the Executive Council and Collegium V members.
The CV Lounge
One of the benefits from participating in Collegium V is gaining access to the CV Lounge. Located in the Green Center (GC 1.202), the Lounge is the place where CV students come together to work and socialize 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Lounge is comprised of five rooms: two computer rooms, the Clark Reading Library, a TV/video room, and a small kitchen.
If you are having issues with accessing the CV Lounge please email collegiumv@utdallas.edu or bring your Comet Card by the HWHC Office in GC 2.2.
