Khushi Upadhyay,
Excel Lassonde Administrator & Coordinator

“It has been more than two years since I have been a part of Excel Lassonde. From starting as an executive to becoming the president and now this year, converting Excel Lassonde into an official service under Lassonde School of Engineering the journey has been a blast. As a final year computer engineering student, Excel Lassonde has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. The way different students approach the same problem in completely different ways fascinates me. Excel Lassonde is a service that offers free peer-to-peer tutoring service, may it be one-on-one or group sessions. The continuous support that I receive from my team and the Lassonde School of Engineering pushes me to be a better leader every day. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their academics. The positive responses we have received from several students re-affirm our faith in our mission statement. I am excited to see what this year has in store for us!“
