OUR LEADERSHIP

Alexander Adeleye

Senator

Hello all! I’m Alex Adeleye, and I’m a senior studying Electrical Engineering. I’m a Senator for the USC NSBE chapter. I’ve been involved with NSBE all 4 years here at USC, and it has been a memorable experience seeing this chapter grow from its humble beginnings my freshman year. I have a deep passion for music, whether it’s listening or creating it. As a result, I have strong interests in audio engineering and loudspeaker design in the near future. I’ve also done research on campus studying the world of wireless communications (Wifi, Bluetooth, radios), so I also hope to get into that field and the developing technologies that are coming up in that field, specifically the race to 5G. I’m also in the SBG Gospel Choir and the Pan-African Student Association. On the side, I like to watch good sci fi movies, thrillers, and anime shows, along with anything involving sports (especially the Golden State Warriors) and exploring new places around me. If you want to contact me, my NSBE email address is senator.usc.nsbe@gmail.com.

This are the members of the Executive board for the USC chapter of NSBE. Feel free to reach out to any of them if you are interested in our chapter or if you have any questions.
