Alec Bode Mathur '20, Secretary-General
Alec has been working with COMMUN for three years, and is excited to start his senior year as Secretary-General. Working on this conference has become one of his favorite things to do, and late nights will often find him picking over the details of some spreadsheet. Outside of COMMUN, he runs Community CPR, a service group working to teach CPR in Boston, and serves as chair of the Greater Boston Regional Student Council. In the bit of downtime that allows, he's probably sequestered in a cafe working on a short story.

Nevan Suntareja '20, Under-Secretary of Communications and Marketing
Nevan has worked with COMMUN III and IV (albeit in smaller roles), taking a more behind-the-scenes role: this year, his goal is to keep everyone involved with COMMUN V well-informed and to work closely with Logistics to make sure everything's running according to plan. When he's not working on spreadsheets or the COMMUN website, you'll probably find him reading a sci-fi book, going to classical music concerts, and spending time walking through the streets of Boston. Nevan also enjoys playing violin and piano, and enjoys hanging out with his acquaintances.

With Nevan's help, he will design the COMMUN website and other branding and help facilitate general communication about the event. Outside of COMMUN, he runs Computer Science Club, and participates in Math Team at Commonwealth. In his free time, Chris enjoys taking photos around Boston and working on interesting computer science projects, such as building a computer from scratch.
