Notable Achievements
One of the FST Students Committee’s proudest accomplishments is the creation of the HackMasters 2030 Challenge (2023), initiated by the former president Ms. Jasmine Greene. This event has inspired innovation and collaboration among students, showcasing the incredible talent within the FST Faculty.

A Personal Touch
As one member aptly stated, “The best part of the committee is that we are also students. We understand what others are going through”. This connection therefore enables the committee to relate to and advocate for the student body effectively.
