 Alina was elected to the Engineering Student Council as the Student Body President for 2019-2020 in her junior year, along with her Executive Board party SEAS the Change Δ. She has also held the positions of Sophomore Class President and First-Year Vice President. Throughout her years on council, she has consistently chosen to be on Policy Committee.
-During Alina's term, she increased undergraduate involvement in recognizing Indigenous People's Day, the University's Second Sustainability Plan, expanding access for the Mudd engineering building, shifting the Makerspace to a bigger space, and important COVID-19 measures. Her term was extended to Fall after CEC chose to delay elections, resulting in deciding F@CU allocations twice.
