Graduate Senators

Graduate senators represent graduate students in Associated Students of NMSU (ASNMSU). We currently have six (6) seats in the ASNMSU senate, half of which are up for election each fall and spring. The graduate senators can be reached as a group by email or individually:

Omid Jafari

Omid Jafari is pursuing his Ph.D. in Computer Science. He has been a Graduate Senator since Fall 2019. Since then, he has helped many students get reimbursements for their research travels and publications. Besides being a senior senator, Omid is serving as the chair of the Credentials and Archives committee at ASNMSU. Omid chose this position with the goal of dedicating all his free time to serve the students he is representing and solving their student life issues. Students can always reach him at ojafari@nmsu.edu and expect a quick response.”

Naga Narendra Reddy Potlapalli

Naga Narendra Reddy Potlapalli is pursuing his PhD in Molecular Biology program. Over the course of his stay at New Mexico State University, he has helped numerous new Indian international students in figuring out several logistic and university related issues through his involvement with the Indian Student association, previously as treasurer and presently as a president. Before enrolling in his PhD program, he worked as a research associate in the fields of Vaccine development and cancer therapeutics. Apart from being a curious student, has represented the Aggies at The Consortium for Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Education(CABLE) which is a nationwide organization of 20 colleges and universities. He has a penchant to meet, greet, and interact with new people. Being a graduate student for more than two years so far, he believes the Student Government to be a great opportunity to showcase his leadership abilities and thereby make the Aggie grad life more exciting and colorful. In his spare time, you can find him playing cricket at the intramural fields or relaxing at a coffee shop and sipping his mocha.

Stephanie Frisch

Stephanie Frisch is pursuing her Master of Public Health, with a concentration in health behavior and health promotion. She first joined ASNMSU in the Spring of 2020, where she was an undergraduate senator for the College of Education. Stephanie is excited to be back in ASNMSU serving the graduate college.
