This week I had the opportunity to interview the 2016 Homecoming Competition Chair, Farhan Chowdhury. He is a junior here at Minnesota State University, Mankato and is majoring in Information Systems.
What made you want to be the Homecoming Competition Chair? "First of all, I am international. I wanted to learn more about the American culture and homecoming is one of the biggest events for students in America. Being on the Student Events Team gave me an opportunity as its homecoming chair to learn more about it" said Chowdhury.
What is the biggest challenge you have faced by hosting such a huge event? Chowdhury explained, "The biggest challenge was organizing all of the different events at the same time. It is hard to keep track of all of them, but my team members made my life much easier."
What is the best thing you have gotten out of being the homecoming competition chair? "I have gotten to work with an awesome team who has always been there to help me, they became my second family. I have an awesome advisor who has helped me with all of the events that will be taking place" said Chowdhury.
What are you most excited for homecoming week? "Mavs Got Talent and homecoming royalty! Mavs Got Talent will be a lot like America's Got Talent, this event will help make students more confident in their talents. Also, on behalf of my whole team, I would like to invite all of the students to participate in all of the homecoming events."
